Morphology

Lampropedia hyalina

CELLULAR

Staining	Each cell is enclosed in a Gram-negative type of cell wall.
Morphology	Sheets of rounded, almost cubical cells, arranged in square tablets of 16064 cells, occasionally separated into pairs or tetrads. Divide synchronously in a sheet and alternately in two planes. The cells of a tablet are enclosed within a complex,structured envelope.
Motility	No flagella occur. Twitching movements of small groups of cells occur during active growth
Specialized structures	Intracellular granules of poly-B-hydroxybutyrate are prominent..

Division

COLONIAL

Solid surface

Growth occurs as a thin, hydrophobic, extending pellicle on the surface of both liquid and solid media. Nonpigmented.

Growth Parameters

Lampropedia hyalina

PHYSIOLOGICAL

Tropism	Chemoorganotrophic. Energy sources are limited to intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Carbohydrates, alcohols, glucosides and fatty acids are not utilized. Ammonium salts or certain amino acids can serve as sole nitrogen sources.
Oxygen	Obligately aerobic, having a strictly respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen serving as the terminal electron acceptor.
pH	Optimum pH, 7.0
Temperature	. Optimum 30`C
Requirements	Vitamins may be required for growth
Products
Enzymes	Oxidase- and catalase-positive.
Unique features

ENVIRONMENTAL

Habitat	. The ecological niche is unknown, but observations and isolations indicate an environment rich in organic matter.
