Gram-positive cells, showing a rod-coccus cycle. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are off-white, opaque, round, slightly convex and glossy with entire margins.
Psychrotolerant. Growth occurs at -6 to 28 ºC (optimally at 16 ºC), at pH 4-9.5
(optimally at pH 8) and in the presence of 0-10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimally in
0-1% NaCl). Facultatively anaerobic.

Isolated from a moss-covered soil from Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.
Susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, oxytetracycline, novobiocin and rifampicin.
