Bosea lupini is a bacterium from the genus Bosea. Bosea lupini is an aerobic and gram-negative bacterium capable of chemolithoautotrophic growth.[3][4]
Physiology and Morphology
Bosea lupini are rod-shaped and motile. The bacteria is gram-negative, and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Bosea lupini colonies tend to be round, smooth, and white.[3]
Isolation
Five species of Bosea were observed in various parts of Flanders, Belgium to observe the diversity of their rhizomes. The species were isolated from hospital water supplies, anaerobic digester sludge, and agricultural soil. For B. lupini in particular, it was isolated from agricultural soil. From this isolation, three species were found to be present, which included B. lupini. B. lupini was isolated from Lupinus polyphyllus.[3]
