Domain: Bacteria Phylum: Proteobacteria Class: Gammaproteobacteria Order: Alteromonadales Family: Alteromonadaceae Genus: Alteromonas Species:SN2

Description

Alcanivorax borkumensis [1F]

The genus Alteromonas was originally defined on 'morphological,physiological,and nutritional' grounds by Baumann et. al. The defining features of that original clade were gram-negative heterotrophic bacteria possessing a polar flagellum and GC content between 42.3 and 48%.(1)
