Contents
Microbacterium oxydans can grow at lower temperatures (4°C); [7] however, it struggles to grow at higher temperatures (48°C). [8] It has been found as an endophyte within plant tissues [9] . [10] The bacterium is halotolerant with the ability to grow on media that is up to 10% sodium chloride. [11] On a TSA (tryptic soy agar) plate, Microbacterium oxydans colonies exhibit a striking bright yellow color. [12]
