Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods.
Colonies are rough, circular and milky-coloured on TSA after 2 days incubation at 30
30 ºC. Growth occurs at 10-37 ºC (optimum, 30 ºC), at pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7) and
wwith 0-7% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2-4%). Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from rice roots in China.
Potentially rice pathogen.
