Agitococcus lubricus gen. nov. sp. nov., a Lipolytic, Twitching Coccus from Freshwater Free

Abstract

Three strains of a gram-negative coccus which exhibits twitching motility and which grows in a monolayer of cells on non-lipid-containing media were isolated from freshwater. A new genus, , with a single species, sp. nov., is proposed for these strains. The type strain of this species is UQM 1981.
