Growth Parameters Malaonomonas rubra
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism chemoorganotroph
Oxygen anaerobe able to tolerate up to 5% oxygen
pH  
Temperature optimum 28-30 oC; range 22-45 oC
Requirements  
Products able to grow with malonate as the sole source of carbon and energy. Malonate is decarboxylated to acetate. Fumarate and malate are fermented to succinate and carbon dioxide. No other organic acids, sugars or alchols are utilized
Enzymes  
Unique features contain large amounts of cytochrome c
