Gram-negative, non-sporeforming rods, motile by one polar flagellum, 2.5-2.9 µm
wide and about 0.8 µm long.
wide and about 0.8 µm long.
Aerobic, optimal growth temperature 21 ºC. Media: Trypticase Soy Agar, Nutrient agar,
King’s agar A & B. Colonies on King A and B media are white-yellowish, smooth with
regular margins and produce a pigment with light yellow-green fluorescence on UV
light. Nonhemolytic on sheep blood agar.

First isolated from the phyllosphere of grasses in Germany. Presents ice nucleation activity.
Possible plant pathogen.
