Morphology Variovorax paradoxus
CELLULAR  
Staining Gram negative
Morphology straight to slightly curved rods (0.5-0.6 x 1.2-3.0 um) occurring singly or in pairs
Motility motile by means of degenerate peritrichous flagella
Specialized structures  
Division  
COLONIAL  
Solid surface Colonies appear yellow because of the presence of carotenoid pigments
Liquid  

 

Growth Parameters Variovorax paradoxus
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism chemoorganotroph or lithoautotroph
