Abstract: 

Pseudofulvimonas (Pseu.do.ful.vi.mo'nas. Gr. adj. pseudes false; N.L. fem. n. Fulvimonas generic name of a bacterium; N.L. fem. n. Pseudofulvimonas a false Fulvimonas.)

Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Xanthomonadales / Rhodanobacteraceae / Pseudofulvimonas

Cells are nonmotile, non-spore-forming rods (approx. 2 μm in length). Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, showing an oxidative metabolism. Polyamine patterns comprise the predominant amine spermidine. The quinone system is ubiquinone Q-8. The polar lipid profile is composed of the major lipids diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PME), and phosphatidylcholine (PC) and moderate amounts of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and an unidentified lipid. The fatty acid profile contains high amounts of iso-C_15:0, iso-C_17:1 ω9c, iso-C_16:0, and iso-C_17:0; iso-C_10:0 and anteiso C_17:1 ω9c are not detected.

Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the genus is closely related to the genus Fulvimonas and placed within the family Rhodanobacteraceae.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 68.5 (HPLC).

Type species: Pseudofulvimonas gallinarii Kämpfer et al. 2010, 1429^VP.
