Description and Significance
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important. Chryseobacterium Nemaophagum is rod-shaped. The golden color on it was shown due to the production of a flexirubin- type pigment. It first isolated from Caenorhabditis briggsae nematodes in rotting apples in France. It has gliding motility. They are pathogens of nematodes. They represent a control agent for important nematode parasites.
Genome Structure
Chryseobacterium Nematophagum is a bacillus that is oxidase-positive,gram-negative rods that exhibit gelatinase activity. The genomes of JUb129 and JUb275 were predicted to encode 3738 and 3586 protein sequences. Grows optimally at 30 degrees Celsius on an agar plus 5% sheep's blood or a tryptone soy agar plus 5% sheep's blood.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Chryseobacterium nematophagous kills the environmental stages of a wide range of nematode parasites. After ingested by a nematode they attack it from the inside by breaking down its extracellular matrics and then kill it.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
This bacteria
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
