Delftia deserti is a Gram-negative, short rod-shaped, motile bacterium from the genus Delftia , which has been isolated from desert soil in Turpan in China. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] D. deserti is of the Betaproteobacteria lineage within the Comamonadaceae family. [5]

Biology and biochemistry

D. deserti cells are short rods and motile by means of one or two polar flagella. Cells are 1.06 ± 0.43 μm long and 0.75 ± 0.12 μm wide. [5]

This bacterium has been cultured on TSA. It grows at temperatures 20-45 °C, optimally at 30 °C. Growth occurs at pH 6-9 (optimally at pH 7), and in 0–3.0% NaCl. D. deserti is fermentative, and positive for DNase activity and nitrate reduction. It can hydrolyse starch, cellulose, casein, extracellular peptidoglycan, chitin, urea, esculin, and gelatin. D. deserti is an obligate aerobe. [5]

No infections caused by D. deserti have been reported. [6]
