Rhodobacteria 10
Most likely ID: n.a.
Synonym: n.a
Sampling location: Simmelried
Phylogenetic tree: n.a.
Diagnosis:
- the cells are ovoid or broad oblong
- length 3.4 – 3.9 µm
- slightly pink or flesh-like colored
- spherical shaped colonies, 50 – 100 µm in diameter
- colonies are covered by a sharply defined gelatinuous sheat
- cells in the colonies are separated from each other
- higly refractive spherules scattered in the cells
