Isolation of a New Polysaccharide-Digesting Bacterium from a Salt Marsh |
|
| Authors: | George Andrykovitch and Irene Marx |
| Abstract: | A new marine bacterium that digested a variety of storage and structural polysaccharides, including agar, was isolated. Strain 2-40 is a nonfermentative gram-negative, polarly flagellated rod that sometimes grew as a filamentous helix and secreted a melaninlike pigment. Its characteristics conform to those of no previously described species. |
