Growth Parameters Acidaminobacter hydrogenoformans
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism chemoorganotrophic
Oxygen anaerobe
pH  
Temperature optimum 30 oC, range 15-42 oC
Requirements Growth on many substrates is stimulated by and may be depenednt on the presence of H2 utilizing bacteria such as Methanospirillum or Desulfovibrio.
Products ferment amino acids especially glutamic acid. Acetate is the major end product with lessser amounts of Ammonia, formate carbon dioxide H2 propionate and sometimes other fatty acids, depending on the amino acid utilized. Lactate, succinate, butyrate and ethanol are not formed. Indole is produced from tryptophan
