Description: Muricauda lutaonesis is a yellow-pigmented, gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic, moderately thermophilic, non-spore forming, rod-shaped bacterium. Cells are 0.3–0.5 mm wide and 8.0–15.0 mm long,and display appendages and vesicles. Growth occurs after 24 hours of incubation at 37 degrees. The growth optimum is 37-45 degrees Celsius, within the complete range being 25-55 degrees Celsius. The pH optimum is 8, with the range being 6-9. The NaCl optimum for growth is 3-5%; a full range of 2-6%.

Genome Structure:

Ecology: Muricauda lutaonesis was isolated from water of a coastal hot spring located on Lutao, a small volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of Taiwan.
