Mycobacterium hodleri
Mycobacterium hodleri is a species of the phylum Actinomycetota (Gram-positive bacteria with high guanine and cytosine content, one of the dominant phyla of all bacteria), belonging to the genus Mycobacterium. Description
Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods (1 µm x 1.8-2.3 µm). Colony characteristics
Scotochromogenic colonies, production of a saffron yellow pigment on Middlebrook 7H10 agar and a chrome yellow pigment on trypticase soy agar. Physiology
Fast growth on Middlebrook 7H10 and on trypticase soy agar at temperatures between 18 °C and 28 °C. Capable of cooxidizing fluoranthene with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including pyrene and anthracene. Pathogenesis
Pathogenicity is not known. Biosafety level 1

Type strain
First isolated from a fluoranthene-contaminated site near Jülich, Germany. Strain EMI2 = CIP 104909 = DSM 44183 = JCM 12141 = LMG 19253
