Rhodobacteria 11
Most likely ID: n.a.
Synonym: n.a
Sampling location: Simmelried
Phylogenetic tree: n.a.
Diagnosis:
- the cells are oblong, young cells ovoid
- length 5–10 µm
- slightly pink colored
- spherical colonies, about 50–100 µm in diameter
- cells in the colonies are separated from each other
- no visible gelatinous sheath
- only few visible division stages in the colonies
- granules in the cells are scattered, with some distinct dark granules per cell
