Description
Winogradskyella poriferorum (designated strain UST030701-295T) are gram negative, rod-shaped cells. They show rapid gliding motility. Colonies are yellow, circular, 2-4 mm in diameter, and have a smooth surface after cultivation on marine agar. Cells are strictly aerobic. Cells grow at temperatures between 12 and 44 ͦ C and at a pH between 6.0 and 10.0. For growth the cells require 1.0-4.0% NaCl and the G+C content of the DNA is 32.8mol%.
Ecology
The strain UST030701-295T was isolated from the surface of the sponge Lissodendoryx isodictyalis in the Bahamas and lives in a marine environment.
Metabolism
The sole carbon source of Winogradskyella poriferorum is aesculin. The strain's main fatty acids are iso-C15 : 1, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 1ω7 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH.
Pathology
The strain UST030701-295T is sensitive to the antibiotics ampicillin (0·5 μg), benzylpenicillin (0·5 μg), chloramphenicol (1·0 μg), streptomycin (10 μg) and tetracycline (0·5 μg). It is resistant to the antibiotic kanamycin.
Current Research
