Cellvibrio japonicus is a Gram-negative soil bacterium. (wikipedia.org)
We use the bacterium Cellvibrio japonicus because of the sophisticated genetic tools to manipulate the microorganism, and because this bacterium has the incredible ability to completely depolymerize both plant cell wall, fungal cell wall, and crustacean shell polysaccharides to obtain carbon and energy.
