Lysobacter gummosus is a Gram-negative, gliding bacterium known for producing extracellular gummy polysaccharides that give colonies a characteristic sticky appearance. It inhabits aquatic and terrestrial environments including river sediments and soils. This chemoheterotroph feeds on organic matter and other microorganisms in its environment.
Lysobacter soli is a Gram-negative, gliding bacterium isolated from soil environments, as its species name implies. It inhabits diverse terrestrial soils worldwide and produces extracellular degradative enzymes. This predatory bacterium lyses other soil microorganisms to obtain nutrients and energy.
