Preferred Label : vitreoscilla;
MeSH definition : A genus of gram-negative, aerobic or microaerophilic, colorless filaments. It is nonfruiting,
motile by gliding, and found in freshwater sediments and cow dung. One species (V.
stercoraria) is considered morphologically to be a streptobacillus. That species is
strictly aerobic and produces a homodimeric bacterial hemoglobin, especially under
oxygen-limited growth conditions. (From Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology,
9th ed);
