Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.6 x 1.3-1.8 µm. Non-motile (cells do not possess
flagella).Produce spherical, central endospores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are creamy, smooth and circular to slightly irregular. Grows between 15-50
ºC (optimum 35-40 ºC) and at pH 5.0 to 8.0 (optimum pH 7.5) in marine broth. Grows
in 0-10% (w/v) NaCl. Optimal growth at 3-5% (w/v) NaCl. No growth occurs in the
presence of more than 12% (w/v) NaCl. Glucose, fructose, maltose, glycerol, yeast
extract and peptone support growth as the single carbon and energy source. Aerobic,
growth does not occur under anaerobic conditions on Marine Agar.
Isolated from a solar saltern at Taean on the west coast of Korea.
Undetermined.
