The cells of T. marianensis are generally rod-shaped (0.3-0.6 x 2-7 um), straight to slightly curved with rounded ends. Motility and flagella have not been observed, but genes for biosynthesis and assembly of flagella have been identified. It is typical marine bacterium and requires sea salts (0.5-5%, optimum 2%) in media for good growth. The temperature range for growth is between 50 and 80 degrees Celsius, with an optimum at 75 degrees Celsius. The pH range for growth is between 5.4-9.5, with an optimum at pH 7.0-7.5. T. marianensis utilizes carbohydrates like starch, xylan, chitin, maltose, maltotriose, cellobiose, lactose, trehalose, sucrose, glucose, galactose, xylose, mannitol, inositol. It is also able to grow on amino acids like casamino acids, valine, isoleucine, cysteine, proline, serine, threonine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartate, glutamate, lysine, arginine and histidine. T. marianensis is able to grow well on various carboxylic acids like propionate, 2-aminobutyric acid, malate, pyruvate, tartarate, succinate, lactate, acetate and glycerol (Adapted from: http://standardsingenomics.org/index.php/sigen/article/view/sigs.1373474)."xsd:string |
