Habitat Information

Latitude: 30.26 degrees Longitude: 97.69 degrees

It was a clear day with a temperature of 64 degrees in the area of Govalle, East Austin on January 25th 2018. A ziplock bag was used to collect the soil from the area mostly from the surface about one inch deep. The location of the soil sample chosen was in a neighborhood field often frequented by dogs. Rainfall was 0.0" and the pressure was 35.35". The description of the location was mostly Bergstrom soils and urban land. 0-2% slopes and rarely flooded.

Description and Significance

The colonial characteristics of the organism are described as follows: circular, convex, and entire margins. Caramel in color with no extracelluar pigment and a shiny, mucoid appearance. To determine the extent of the antimicrobial activity of the organism, further testing would be needed as there was only some clearing when tested.

A unique characteristic of this gram-negative aerobe is its polar flagellum, although some have two polar flagella. There was no discernible arrangement of the cocci bacterium
