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.
