Names Chitinophaga pinensis DSM 2588
Accession numbers NC_013132
Background Chitinophaga pinensis is a filamentous, chitinolytic, gliding bacteria that transforms on aging into spherical bodies, although this latter phenotype has been disputed. It was isolated from pine litter in Australia, and is unable to degrade cellulose. (EBI Integr8)
