Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive long rods, 0.2-0.3 x 1.5-2.2 µm, showing a rod-coccus cycle. Motile.
Colonies are yellow on TSA. Growth occurs at 4-25 ºC, with optimum at 22-25 ºC; no
growth at 30 ºC. Grows in the presence of 6% (w/v) NaCl and pH 7. Aerobic.
Isolated from a Southern Ocean sediment from near the Larsemann Hills area of Antarctica.
Resistant to norfloxacin (25 µg/ml), colistin (25 µg/ml) and nitrofurantoin (30 µg/ml). Sensitive to kanamycin (15 µg/ml), ampicillin (25
µg/ml), tetracycline (10 µg/ml), streptomycin (20 µg/ml) and rifampicin (15 µg/ml).
Undetermined.
