Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 1.3-1.8 x 1.7-3.2  µm. Motile by peritrichous flagella. Spores are
not observed.
Colonies are pale yellow, flat and opaque with slightly irregular margins after growth
on Nutrient Agar at 32 ºC for 48 h. Growth occurs at 15-45 ºC (optimum 32 ºC), within
a pH range of pH 6.0-10.0 (optimum pH 6.0-7.0) and with 0-5% (w/v) NaCl (optimum
0-1%, w/v NaCl). Aerobic.
Isolated from leaves of Chinese red pepper (Huajiao) (Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim) collected from Gansu, north-west China.
Undetermined.
