Background Cellulophaga algicola (strain DSM 14237 / IC166 / ACAM 630) is an ice-dwelling (sympagic), strictly aerobic, chemoheterotrophic Gram-negative bacterium commonly associated with marine diatoms and isolated from strips of ice algae. Cells are rod-shaped with either rounded or tapered ends. Gliding motility is present. Colonies have yellow-orange pigmentation and a compact center with a spreading edge possessing lighter pigmentation. C. algicola produces extracellular enzymes which degrade agar and other complex compounds and acid is formed oxidatively from D-galactose, D-glucose, D-fructose, sucrose, cellobiose, lactose and mannitol. It can grow between 0 and 10% NaCl, with best growth in the presence of about 2%NaCl. C. algicola grows between 2 and 28 degrees Celsius, with the most rapid growth at about 15-20 degrees Celsius on agar media and at about 20-25 degrees Celsius in liquid media. Optimal pH for growth is about 7.5. (Adapted from PMID: 11034497). (EBI Integr8)
