Abstract

Pho.coe.no.bac'ter. N.L. fem. n. phocoena derived from Gr. fem. n. phokaina porpoise; M.L. masc. n. bacter rod; M.L. masc. n. Phocoenobacter a rod from a porpoise. Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Pasteurellales / Pasteurellaceae / Phocoenobacter Cells spherical, ovoid, or rod shaped, 0.2–0.5 × 0.5–1.0 μm. Occasional longer forms occur. Some cells demonstrate bipolar staining. Gram-negative. Nonmotile. Facultative anaerobes. Optimum temperature for growth, 37°C. Do not require X or V factors for growth. No growth occurs on MacConkey agar. Catalase negative, oxidase positive. Nitrate is reduced to nitrite. Voges–Proskauer positive. Arginine dihydrolase, ornithine decarboxylase, lysine decarboxylase, urease, and indole are not produced. Acid produced from glucose. Isolated from a porpoise. DNA G + C content (mol%): 41.5 (Tm).
