Gram-negative rods, 0.3-0.7 x 3.5-4.8 µm. Motile by one polar flagellum. Non-spore
forming.
Colonies are round, beige color, 2-3 mm in diameter after growth for 48 h at 30 ºC on
Luria-Bertani plates. Fresh isolates are rough, wrinkled, dry and coherent, light brown
in color. Colonies with regular margins and translucent may be produced. Growth
temperature range 10-42 ºC (optimum 30 ºC), pH range 6-10,  NaCl range 0-8%.
Pigment is not produced on King A and King B media. Facultatively aerobic.
Can grow with sodium lactate, troleandomycin, lincomycin, vancomycin, nalidixic acid,
aztreonam, fusidic acid, rifamycin SV, guanidine HCl, tetrazolium violet, lithium
chloride, sodium butyrate, D-serine, minocycline, niaproof 4, tetrazolium blue and
potassium tellurite; not with sodium bromate.
Isolated from the soil by L-(+)-tartrate enrichment, aquatic sediment, cucumber rhizosphere, aircraft-oil contaminated soil, estuarine
sediment and freshwater sediment.
None.
