Fererhizobium litorale

Ferirhizobium litorale is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, soil bacterium originally isolated for identification along the shore of the Sea of Japan.[2] It is the only species in the genus Ferirhizobium.[3] Formerly known as Fererhizobium litorale, Rhizobium sp. KMM 9576, and Rhizobium sp. KMM 9553,[1] this bacterium is motile, and aerobic. Colonies are smooth, round, and whitish in appearance.[4]

Ferirhizobium litorale is oxidase- and catalase-positive. As a bacterium found in soil, it is one of many that are incapable of nitrogen-fixing, since it lacks necessary genes for either nodulation or nitrogen fixation. It is also unable to hydrolyze starch, casein, and gelatin.[4]

This bacteria is non-pathogenic and is found to be susceptible to rifampicin and streptomycin, but resistant to tetracycline, ampicillin, and vancomycin.[4]
