Names Parvibaculum lavamentivorans DS-1
Accession numbers NC_009719
Background Parvibaculum lavamentivorans (strain DS-1 / DSM 13023 / NCIMB 13966) is an aerobic, non-motile, Gram-negative, short rod. It is motile when growing with acetate, octane or in complex medium. It is able to metabolize a wide range of anionic and non-ionic surfactants and utilizes all representatives of the two major classes of surfactants used in laundry products in Germany, anionics and non-ionics. The epithet "lavamentivorans" stands for "consuming (chemicals) used for washing". (EBI Integr8)
