Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive diphtheroid, irregular rods. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are circular, opaque, somewhat convex and approximately 3.5-4.5 mm after
24 h at 28 ºC.The colony colour on modified ISP 5 medium is light yellow. The
temperature range for growth is 20-40 ºC (optimum 28 ºC), ph tolerance 7.0-12.0,
NaCl concentration range 0-25%. The optimum concentration of MgCl
2 6H2O is 10%.
Isolated from a saline soil sample from Xinjiang Province, China.
Undetermined.
