Description
Microscopy
- Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods less than 2 µm. Acid-fast in young cultures but may lose acid-fastness on prolonged culture.
Colony characteristics
- Yellow-orange scotochromogenic colonies.
Physiology
- Grows at 25-37 °C, not at 45 °C, in 3–4 days or less
- Acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase (3 days) is positive.
- Negative for nitrate reduction, isonicotinamidase, and citrate utilisation.
- Does not grow in the presence of hydroxylamine HCl (500 mg/l) and does not degrade PAS.
Pathogenesis
- Not associated with disease.
Type strain
- First isolated in Japan from soil and human sputum.
- Strain 49005 (previously, strain 5545) = ATCC 27280 = CIP 106808 = DSM 44147 = JCM 6376 = LMG 19259 = NCTC 10820.
gollark: Assuming you actually want to use the random.org API and not just get the quota of your IP for no reason, random.org will see all the requests as coming from the proxy, because they *are*, and reduce your quota based on that, *not* the IP of your CC computer.
gollark: Because that is what is *actually* sending HTTPS requests to random.org.
gollark: And the quota is *for your friend's server*.
gollark: It might give you the quotas for some other one, but presumably it won't let you actually get data as it.
gollark: random.org won't just let you say "hi I'm this IP".
