Description
Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods (1 µm x 1.8-2.3 µm).
Colony characteristics
- Scotochromogenic colonies, production of a saffron yellow pigment on Middlebrook 7H10 agar and a chrome yellow pigment on trypticase soy agar.
Physiology
- Fast growth on Middlebrook 7H10 and on trypticase soy agar at temperatures between 18 °C and 28 °C.
- Capable of cooxidizing fluoranthene with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including pyrene and anthracene.
Pathogenesis
- Pathogenicity is not known.
- Biosafety level 1
Type strain
- First isolated from a fluoranthene-contaminated site near Jülich, Germany.
Strain EMI2 = CIP 104909 = DSM 44183 = JCM 12141 = LMG 19253
gollark: It does describe it quite well, I think.
gollark: That's the help text for it.
gollark: ```Eggs and hatchlings can become sick when they receive too many views, unique views, and clicks in a short period of time. Although sickness can occur at any time, eggs are most vulnerable when first laid. If an egg or hatchling continues to receive too many views, unique views, and clicks while sick, it may die.To “cure” an egg or hatchling of sickness, simply reduce the rate at which it is receiving views, unique views, and clicks. This may be as simple as removing the egg or hatchling from any sites you have posted it on. Since the hide action prevents eggs and hatchlings from receiving views, unique views, and clicks, it can be a useful tool at combating sickness.```
gollark: Oh? I thought it was good.
gollark: Well, you partly were, but whatever.
