Gram-negative, slightly curved rods, 0.3-0.5 x 1.0-3.6 μm. Motile by a single polar
flagellum. Non-spore-forming. Non-encapsulated.
flagellum. Non-spore-forming. Non-encapsulated.
Colonies on MA incubated under aerobic conditions at 37 ºC for 48 h are pale yellow,
circular with entire margins, convex and non-swarming. Pigments are not produced.
Growth occurs in the presence of 0.5-9% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2-4 %). Grows on MA at
0-45 ºC (optimum 37 ºC) and at pH 7.0-11.0 (optimum pH 10.0). Cells grow well
under both aerobic and microaerobic conditions with no significant differences at 30,
37 and 42 ºC on MA. Weak growth is obtained in anaerobic conditions at 37 ºC and
in aerobic conditions at 45 ºC. Under aerobic conditions, grows at 37 ºC on media
containing 64 mg cefoperazone / l and media containing 0.5-4.0% (w/v) NaCl. No
growth on minimal medium or MacConkey agar.
