Micrococcus
Sign in to saveMicrococcus, from Ancient Greek μικρός (mikrós), meaning "small", and κόκκος (kókkos), meaning "sphere", is a genus of bacteria in the Micrococcaceae family. Micrococcus occurs in a wide range of environments, including water, dust, and soil. Micrococci have Gram-positive spherical cells ranging from about 0.5 to 3 micrometers in diameter and typically appear in tetrads. They are catalase positive, oxidase positive, indole negative and citrate negative. Micrococcus has a substantial cell wall, which may comprise as much as 50% of the cell mass. The genome of Micrococcus is rich in guanine and

Micrococcus (mi’ krō kŏk’ Əs) es un género de bacterias del filo Actinobacteria. Se encuentran en ambientes diversos, incluyendo agua y aire. Son bacterias Gram-positivas con células esféricas de. Cuadrado comprendido entre 5,0 y 20 micrómetros que típicamente aparecen en tétradas. Micrococcus tiene una delgada pared celular que puede abarcar tanto como el 5% de la materia celular. Su genoma en guanina y citosina (GC), típicamente en cantidad del 100 al 75% de contenido GC. A menudo contienen citoplasmas (de tamaño comprendido entre 1 y 10MDa) que proporcionan al organismo características útiles.para sobrevivir Según el estudio en la universidad López la bacteria puede durar más tiempo en el agua.
