Gram-negative rods, 0.8-1.2 x 1.8-2.4 μm. Motile by peritrichous flagella.
Colonies on R2A agar, after incubation at 20 ºC for 2-3 days, are white, round,
smooth, convex and opaque. Grows at 0-40 ºC (optimally at 15 ºC) on R2A agar, at pH
4-11 (optimally at pH 7) and with 0-8 % NaCl (optimally with 0% NaCl).
Isolated from water of Lake Dajiaco, Tibetan Plateau, China.
Undetermined.
