Gram-positive rods, 0.7-1.2 x 4.0-5.0 µm. Motile. Produce central / paracentral spores,
swelling the cells.
Colonies are circular, convex, stringy and transparent yellowish or opaque whitish,
1.5-3.0 mm in diameter, after growth on MA at 30 ºC for 2 days. Growth occurs at
10-40 ºC (optimum 30-35 ºC), at pH 5-12 (optimum pH 9) and in 0-9% (w/v) NaCl
(optimum 1-3%). No growth occurs at NaCl concentrations above 9%. No growth on
NA, TSA, YEM and LB agar. Strictly aerobic.
Isolated from mangrove bed soil located on the seashore of Weno island in Chuuk state, Micronesia.
Undetermined.

Positive results for catalase, aesculin hydrolysis and oxidase.
Can assimilate (API 20 NE): D-glucose and malic acid.

Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase,  beta-galactosidase, indole production, nitrate reduction, urease and acid
production from glucose.
Does not assimilate: L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid and
