Growth Parameters Rochalimaea
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism  
Oxygen Aerobic
pH  
Temperature  
Requirements Can be cultivated in host cell-free media of moderate complexity, such as blood agar or broth enriched with amino acids, yeast extract, and fetal bovine serum or hematin. Succinate, pyruvate, glutamine, or glutamate, but not glucose, serve as sources of energy.
Products  
Enzymes oxidase negative, urease negative catalase negative
Unique features Grow profusely on the surface of eucaryotic cells, such as mouse L cells, or cells lining the intestines of the invertebrate host.
ENVIRONMENTAL  
Habitat  
Lifestyle Natural cycle involves a vertebrate and invertebrate host.
Pathogenicity Rochalimaea henselae may be the causitive agent of bacillary angiomatosis or possibly cat scratch disease
Distribution  

 

Genome Rochalimaea
G+C Mol % The mol% G + C of the DNA is 38.5-39 (Tm, Bd).
