Spirillum - Wikipedia Spirillum is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Spirillaceae of the Nitrosomonadales of the Betaproteobacteria [1] [2] [3] There are two species of Spirillum with validly or effectively published names - Spirillum winogradskyi and Spirillum volutans [4]
Spirillum | Gram-Negative, Rod-Shaped, Aquatic | Britannica Spirillum is microbiologically characterized as a gram-negative, motile helical cell with tufts of whiplike flagella at each end The helix of the largest spirillum, S volutans, is 5 to 8 μ m (micrometres; 1 μ m = 10 -6 metre) across by 60 μ m long
What Are Spirilla Bacteria? - Microscope Clarity The genus Spirillum contains freshwater bacteria that are large and only require a small amount of oxygen (microaerophilic) to survive This is usually a percentage of around 1-9% The size of Spirillum volutans is approximately 5 – 8 micrometers wide and 60 micrometers long Spirilla have a spiral or corkscrew-like appearance
Extraordinary Facts about Spirillum - Biology Wise Spirillum refers to a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Spirillaceae These bacteria are known for their elongated structure In fact, Spirillum volutans (S volutans), members of Spirillum are considered to be one of the largest species of bacteria
Characteristics and Ecological Role of Spirillum Bacteria Spirillum bacteria are an intriguing group of microorganisms that play significant roles in various ecosystems Recognized for their distinctive spiral shape, these bacteria contribute to nutrient cycling and the maintenance of ecological balance
