Bacteria (Domain) ; (Phylum) Bacteroidetes; (Class) Flavobacteria; (Order) Flavobacteriales; (Family) Flavobacteriaceae; (Genus) Nonlabens
Species
This particular bacteria is a Tegetincola.
Description and significance
Nonlabens Tegetincola is an Orange-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped and is can survive and grow in the presence of oxygen. This bacteria was discovered in the Bahamas on a microbial mat in an Estuary. The colonies that were grown on marine agar grew to the size of 2.0mm-4.0mm, and to achieve this size using the temperature of 28–36 °C. Nonlabens Tegetincola predominant fatty acids are i15 : 0, i16 : 0, i17 : 0 3-OH, and summed feature 3, comprising i15 : 0 2-OH and/or 16 : 1ω7c.
