Abstract: 

Bo.go.ri.el'la. N.L. dim. fem. n. Bogoriella named after Lake Bogoria, Kenya.

Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Micrococcales / Bogoriellaceae / Bogoriella

The mono-specific genus Bogoriella belongs based on the 16S rRNA gene sequece pyhlogeny together with the genera Georgenia and Oceanitalea to the family Bogoriellaceae. Cells are irregularly shaped rods or cocci. Filaments, up to 10 μm, may appear. Cells occur singly, in pairs, or in small clusters. Gram-stain-positive. Not acid fast. Endospores are not formed. Nonmotile. Aerobic to microaerobic. Colonies are circular, smooth, slightly convex, glistening, and pale to intense yellow. Growth temperature 28–37°C. Alkaliphilic. Oxidase-negative; catalase-positive. The peptidoglycan type is A4α with L-lysine as the diagnostic diamino acid and an L-Lys–L-Ala–L-Ala–L-Glu interpeptide bridge. The acyl type is acetyl. Galactose is the only whole-cell sugar. The predominant respiratory quinone is MK-8(H4). The phospholipids are phosphaditylglycerol, diphosphaditylglycerol, phosphaditylinositol, and an unknown phospholipid. The cellular fatty acid profile is dominated by the occurrence of anteiso-branched-chain acids; iso-branched-chain acids occur in minor amounts. Mycolic acids are absent. The genomic DNA G+C content is 70 mol%.
