Growth Parameters

Succinimonas amylolytica

PHYSIOLOGICAL

Tropism	Chemoorganotrophic Glucose, maltose, dextrin or starch can serve as the energy source
Oxygen	Strictly anaerobic having a fermentative type of metabolism
pH
Temperature	optimum 30-37 oC
Requirements	Acetate is stimulatory. Strains grow well in a synthetic medium containing glucose, mineral salts, ammonia, B vitamins and bicarbonate buffer
Products	Succinate and acetate are the main products of glucose fermentation. No butyrate or gas is formed.. Glucose, maltose, dextrin and starch are fermented but no other carbohydrates.
Enzymes	Catalase-negative
Unique features
