Morphology

Frateuria aurantica

CELLULAR

Staining	Gram-negative
Morphology	Regular straight rods, 0.5-0.7 um in diameter and 0.7-3.5 um in length, occurring singly or in pairs
Motility	Generally motile by polar flagella or nonmotile
Specialized structures

Division

COLONIAL

Solid surface

Colonies on mannitol-yeast extract-CaCO3 (GYC) agar most strains produce a typical brown water-soluble pigment

Growth Parameters

Frateuria aurantica

PHYSIOLOGICAL

Tropism	Chemo-organotrophic
Oxygen	. Obligately aerobic.
pH	Grows at pH 3.6.
Temperature	Optimum for growth 25-30`C.
Requirements	No requirements for growth factors
Products	No nitrate reduction. Starch and gelatin are not hydrolyzed. H2S is produced.. Acid is produced from ethanol and a number of C sources. On D-glucose and D-xylose, the pH drops below 4.0. From D-glucose, 2-keto- and 2,5- diketogluconic acids are formed, but not 5-ketogluconic acid
Enzymes	Oxidase-negative.
Unique features

ENVIRONMENTAL

Habitat	Isolated from Lilium auratum and from the fruit of Rubus parvifolius (raspberry) in Japan.
