Growth Parameters Erythrobacter longus
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism chemoorganoheterotrophic Cultures do not grow anaerobically in the light and do not grow chemoautotrophically with H2.
Oxygen aerobic, Metabolism is predominantly respiratory. Under microaerobic conditions, small amounts of acid are produced from a wide range of carbohydrates
pH  
Temperature  
Requirements Biotin is required for growth; some strains may also require thiamin, nicotinic acid and pantothenate.
Products Contain bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids. Methanol is not utilized. Voges-Proskauer and methyl red tests are negative
Enzymes Gelatin is hydrolyzed; some strains also hydrolyze alginate and Tween 80. Oxidase- and catalase-positive
Unique features CONTAIN BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL a BUT DO NOT GROW ANAEROBICALLY IN THE LIGHT. Susceptible to penicillin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline, not to nalidixic acid.
ENVIRONMENTAL  
Habitat marine environments, predominantly on seaweeds
Lifestyle  
Pathogenicity
