| Vogesella alkaliphila |
Colonies are blue with a copper metallic sheen - produce indigoidine (pigment
production is enhanced with glutamine). Strictly aerobic. Mesophilic; grows at 25-40
ºC (optimum 30 ºC). Grows at pH 6.5-10.0 (optimum at pH 8.0-8.5). NaCl is not
required for growth (tolerance 0-0.5% NaCl).
