Gram-negative rods with polar or bipolar flagella, 0.8-1.1 by 2.5-4.1 μm. Poly-beta-
hydroxybutyrate is accumulated in cells.
hydroxybutyrate is accumulated in cells.
Nonhemolytic, nonpigmented, 2-4 mm diameter colonies. Strains designated P.
indoloxidans produce insoluble blue pigment, indigotin, in media containing indole
and a suitable carbon source. Obligately aerobic, 30 ºC (no growth at 4 or 41 ºC).
Media: Trypticase Soy Agar ± 5% sheep blood; Trypticase Soy Broth.

Isolated from soil, water (pisciculture farms) and sludge of biological wastewater treatment plants.
Generally, is a non-pathogenic bacteria. Reports of human catheter-associated bacteremia & endocarditis. Possible fish pathogen.
