Descriptor Vitreoscilla
Entry term(s) Vitreoscilla stercoraria
Scope note: Género de filamentos gramnegativos, aerobios o microaerófilos e incoloros. No fructifican, se mueven por deslizamiento, y se encuentran en los sedimentos del agua dulce y en el estiércol de vaca. Una especie (V. stercoraria) está considerada desde el punto de vista morfológico como un estreptobacilo; es aerobia estricta y produce una hemoglobina bacteriana homodimérica, especialmente en condiciones de crecimiento con limitación de oxígeno.

Scope note: A genus of gram-negative, aerobic or microaerophilic, colorless filaments. It is nonfruiting, motile by gliding, and found in freshwater sediments and cow dung. One species (V. stercoraria) is considered morphologically to be a streptobacillus. That species is strictly aerobic and produces a homodimeric bacterial hemoglobin, especially under oxygen-limited growth conditions. (From Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th ed)
