Discovery

This microbe was discovered in 1868. It 's first names species was Zoogloea ramigera.

Importance to Microbiology

Phylogeny

Kingdom: Bacteria ,Phylum: Proteobacteria ,Class: Betaproteobacteria ,Order: Rhodocycales ,Genus: Zoogloea

History

Zoogloea can be found free-living in fresh waters that have been organically polluted. It can also grow in waste-water treatment at all levels. Zoogloea are aerobic, chemoorganotrophic. For energy they use oxidative metabolism. Zoogloea has been studied as a pure culture.

Morphology

Zoogloea range range in size between 0.5 um to 1.3. They are normally a rod-shape with flagellum.

Genome Sequence

G/C is roughly 64.5%

Application

Zoogloea plays an important role in waste-water treatment because it is capable of lowering demand for biological oxygen. It also has the capable of enhancing the formation of sludge.
