aquamicrobium defluvii aquamicrobium defluvii aquamicrobium defluvii is a gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, bacteria from the genus of aquamicrobium which was isolated from activated sewage sludge in germany. oxygen can be used as a terminal electron accpetor. different carbons were tested but only a few sugars, fatty acids and thiophene 2-carboxylate supported growth (bambauer, a. 1998) the genomic information about these species is limited and more research is needed (wang, x 2015). . aquamicrobium defluvii uses thiophene-2-carboxylate as only source for carbon. aquamicrobium defluvii scientific classification domain: bacteria phylum: pseudomonadota class: alphaproteobacteria order: hyphomicrobiales family: phyllobacteriaceae genus: aquamicrobium species: a. defluvii binomial name aquamicrobium defluviibambauer et al. 1998 type strain cfbp 6740, cip 105610, dsm 11603, lmg 22048, nkk
