| Aquaspirillum psychrophilum (Simplicispira psychrophila) |
Psychrotolerant; growth occurs at 02-26 ºC, optimal temperature is 20 ºC. Colonies
are punctiform at 48 h; at 7 days they are circular, gently undulate, granular, convex or
umbonate, glistening, opaque, butyrous, and pale yellow. Aerobic, can grow
anaerobically using nitrate (with gas production). Grows in nutrient broth or PSS broth.
Range of pH: 5.5-9.0.

Positive results for catalase, gelatin liquefaction (within 7 days), H2S production from
cysteine (weak, at 14 days), nitrate reduction & oxidase.
Negative results for casein hydrolysis, esculin hydrolysis, hippurate hyrolysis, indole production, phosphatase, selenite reduction,
starch hydrolysis. Acid is not produced from sugars. Cannot utilize citrate, succinate, fumarate, malate, pyruvate, lactate, malonate,
tartrate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, glycerol, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-xylose & L-arabinose. No
turbidity occurs in media containing urea as sole nitrogen source.
