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). .^[3][4][5] Aquamicrobium defluvii uses thiophene-2-carboxylate as only source for carbon.^[3]
