Growth Parameters Tatumella plyseos
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism  
Oxygen Facultatively anaerobic
pH  
Temperature Biochemically more active at 25`C than at 36`C.
Requirements  
Products D- Glucose is fermented with the production of acid but no gas. Few other sugars are fermented at 36`C.
Enzymes  
Unique features . Stock cultures often die within a few weeks on laboratory media. Large zones of inhibition are formed around disks containing penicillin (10 U), in contrast to most other Enterobacteriaceae.
ENVIRONMENTAL  
Habitat Isolated from human clinical specimens, mainly from the respiratory tract.
Lifestyle  
Pathogenicity Probably an infrequent opportunistic pathogen (three isolates were from blood) or colonizer.
Distribution
