_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, less than 1 mm in diameter. Coloration on agar and in dense liquid culture is ??? (Crayola, (TM)), appears yellow in liquid culture during exponential phase. Morphology is pleomorphic short rods (?? to ??), often with pointed ends. Growth in liquid culture from 4-27 4-28  degrees C, optimum growth at 23 25  degrees C. Does not require salt for growth, can tolerate up to 5% NaCl with an optimal concentration of 1% NaCl. Tolerates pH 5.5 to 7.9, optimum around neutral pH. Oxidase and catalase negative. Carbon sources etc. Does not grow on R2A agar. Can use ???, ???, ETC as carbon sources. Cannot use the following compounds as sole carbon sources: ???, ???, ??? and ???.  The type strain Coronado(T) (=ATCC????(T), =DSMZ????(T)) was isolated from a stadium seat in Coronado, CA. The GC content of the type strain is ??%, as determined by genome sequencing.
