Species Mesorhizobium maamorense [ma.a.mo.ren'se] N.L. neut. adj. maamorense, pertaining to the Maamora forest, the region of isolation
The species is an aerobic, non-spore-forming, Gram-negative rhizobium that appears as an elongated rod, approximately 1 µm wide and 2.5 µm long. On YEM medium, it grows relatively quickly, with a population doubling time of 5 to 6 hours, forming 1 mm colonies within five days. Ideal growth conditions are a temperature of 28°C and a neutral pH of 7, though it remains viable at temperatures as high as 37°C. The bacteria is also resilient to environmental challenges, tolerating saline stress equivalent to 515 mM NaCl and osmotic stress from up to 20% PEG.
