Accession numbers NC_015321
Background Fluviicola taffensis (strain DSM 16823 / RW262 / RW262) is a strictly aerobic, yellow-orange-pigmented, motile, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from water of the River Taff, Cardiff, UK, during January 2000. The cells are non-flagellated, rod-shaped. They are 0.4-0.5 mm wide and 1.5-5.7 mm long, with rarer longer filaments of up to 51 mm in length. Colonies are 1-5 mm in diameter, circular, flat, transparent, shiny, yellow-orange and creamy on high nutrient solid media. It is motile by gliding. Growth occurs between 4-25 degrees Celsius, with an optimum at about 20 degrees Celsius. It is able to hydrolyze DNA and gelatin, but not agar, arginine, aesculin or starch. Acid is not produced from glucose. F.taffensis is resistant to chloramphenicol, streptomycin and kanamycin, but susceptible to penicillin G, ampicillin, rifampicin and tetracycline.
