''Mycobacterium farcinogenes'' is a species of the phylum actinobacteria (Gram-positive bacteria with high guanine and cytosine content, one of the dominant phyla of all bacteria), belonging to the genus mycobacterium. Although slow-growing, it is similar to fast-growing species, and is usually classified with them. ==Description== Gram-positive, nonmotile and strongly acid-fast rods. Short or long filaments, bent and branched, in clumps or tangled, lacy network. Colony characteristics Rough, yellow and convoluted colonies. Firmly adherent to medium and surrounded by an iridescent halo. Physiology *Slow growth after 15–20 days on Löwenstein-Jensen medium. Differential characteristics *On the basis of characteristic lipids this species belongs to the genus Mycobacterium and not to the genus Nocardia. *DNA homology to the closely related species ''Mycobacterium senegalense''. Both species, share an identical 5' 16S rDNA sequence. However, the ITS sequences are different 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mycobacterium farcinogenes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
