Accession numbers | NC_009718 |
Background | Fervidobacterium nodosum is a thermophilic, Gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating, glycolytic, obligately anaerobic rod that exists singly, in pairs or in chains. It is a member of the order Thermotogales and was isolated from a New Zealand hot spring. Its optimal growth temperature is 65 to 70 degrees Celsius. It can use a wide range of carbohydrates including glucose, sucrose, starch and lactose. The major end products of glucose fermentation are lactate, acetate, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide and to a lesser extent ethanol. Growth is inhibited by tetracycline, penicillin and chloramphenicol.
