Growth Parameters Ruminobacter amylophilus
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism chemoorganotroph
Oxygen anaerobe
pH  
Temperature optimum 37-39 oC
Requirements CO2, ammonia and a feremtnable carbohydrate are required for growth
Products carbohydrates are metabolized to acetate, formate and succinate. Acid is prodcued from dextrin, glycogen, starch and maltose. Cellulose and cellobiose are not fermented. Sphingolipids and menaquinones are absent. Predominant cell fatty acids are straight chain saturated and unsaturated
