👉 Hydrogenomonas is a bacterium that belongs to the genus Hydrogenomonas. It is characterized by its unique cell wall structure, which is composed of a complex gel-like substance called a hyaluronan matrix and a matrix protein called hyaluronidase. This combination provides hydrophilic properties that aid in movement through the cell membrane. The bacterium synthesizes its own energy from carbon dioxide and water, utilizing the hyaluronic acid matrix for growth and survival.
