Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 0.5-0.8 x 1.5-3.0 μm. Motile by several polar flagella. Non-spore-
forming. Accumulates poly-3-hydroxybutyrate with sucrose as the sole carbon source
and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate using glucose and propionic acid.
Colonies on nutrient broth medium (Difco) are white and opaque. Grows well
between 25 and 37 ºC with an optimum growth temperature of 28-30 ºC. No growth at
7 or 42 ºC after 10 days incubation. No growth on MacConkey agar. NaCl range for
growth is 0-1% (w/v). Aerobe.
Isolated from the soil of a sugar-cane plantation in Brazil. Susceptible to tetracycline, kanamycin, chloramphenicol and ampicillin.
