| COLONIAL |
| Solid surface | colonies are 1-3 mm in diameter after growth on sucrose-peptone agar. colonies are white to cream with a low convex, translucent, and mucoid morphology. Some colonies may be orange-yellowm, dull and flat. On cellulose agar the colonies are white, smooth and circular and they may have a zone of clearing |

| Growth Parameters | Cellovibrio mixtus |
| PHYSIOLOGICAL |
| Tropism | |
| Oxygen | Aerobic having a respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen as the normal electron acceptor. Growth under anaerobic conditions is absent |

| Temperature | |
| Requires | Chemoorganotrophic |
| Produces | Organic acids are not used as carbon source. Acid is produced from arabinose, dextrin, galactose, glucose, lactose, maltose, mannose, melibiose, rraffinsose,, sucrose, trehalose, and xylose. Starch, chitin, esculin, and neutral or alaline pectinate gels are hydrolysed |
| Enzymes | oxidase positive, catalase positive, glucose oxidized, cellulose hydrolysed, alpha and beta glucosidase are produced |
