_Kirrobacter mercurialis_ (mer.cur.ia.al'is L. adj. _mercurialis_, temperamental).
In addition to the characteristics of the genus, colonies on LB are round, glossy, and less than 1 mm in diameter. Coloration on agar and in dense liquid culture is yellowish orange, appears yellow in liquid culture during exponential phase. Morphology is non-motile pleomorphic ovals or short rods, often with pointed ends. Growth in liquid culture from 4-28 degrees C, optimum growth at 25 degrees C.
Does not require Requires salt for growth,
can tolerate up to 5% NaCl with an optimal
concentration of growth at 1%
NaCl, cannot grow at 3% NaCl. Tolerates
pH 5.5 up to
7.9, pH 8.0, optimum around neutral pH. Oxidase and catalase negative. Does not grow on R2A agar. The primary fatty acids are C18:1\(\omega\)7cis and C16:0, with a high percentage of the latter relative to other genera in the family. Can utilize the following as sole carbon sources: Glycyl-L-Glutamic Acid, L-Rhamnose, D-Mannose, D-Trehalose, a-D-Glucose, L-Fucose, D-Galactose, Citric acid, D-Glucuronic acid, D-Galactonic acid, L-Galactonic acid-g-Lactone, Acetoacetic acid, Acetic acid, Pyruvic acid, and L-Malic acid.
The type strain Coronado(T) (=DSMZ????(T)) was isolated from a stadium seat in Coronado, CA. The GC content of the type strain is 67.3%, as determined by genome sequencing. The genome size is approximately 3.5MB.
