Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive short rods, 0.5-0.6 x 0.8-1.3 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are smooth, circular and sulfuryellow in colour on LB-NaCl agar medium.
Alkaliphilic and moderately halophilic. Grows at 10-42 ºC (optimum 37 ºC), at pH
8.0-12.0 (optimum 9.0) and in the presence of 3-15% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 5-10%
(w/v) NaCl). Aerobic.
Isolated from a bark sample of Populus euphratica collected on the southern edge of Taklimakan desert, Xinjiang, China.
Undetermined.

Positive results for alkaline phosphatase (weak), catalase, oxidase, ONPG (negative in Wang's study), urease, acid production from
fructose, D-fucose, mannitol, rhamnose, sucrose, and L-sorbose.
Can utilize as sole carbon source cellobiose, D-fructose, glucose, myo-inositol, maltose, L-rhamnose, D-sorbitol, sucrose and
trehalose.

Negative results foracid phosphatase, cellulose degradation, esculin hydrolysis, H
2S production, indole production, gelatin
liquefaction, alpha-glucosidase, beta-galactosidase, milk coagulation, alpha-mannosidase, nitrate reduction, starch hydrolysis,
trypsin, and Tween 80 hydrolysis, acid production from L-arabinose, D-glucose, D-galactose, lactose, trehalose, and D-xylose.
No utilization of D-galactose, lactose, D-mannitol, D-mannose and raffinose.
