Gram-negative rods, 0.4-0.5 x 1.5-2 µm, non-spore-forming, motile by means of polar
flagella.
After 72 h incubation at 15 ºC on TSA, colonies are 1.5-2.0 mm in diameter, smooth
and round with irregular edges. Do not produce fluorescent pigment on King’s B
medium.
Aerobic, psychrotolerant. Growth occurs at temperatures between -4 and 30 ºC, but
not at 37 ºC. NaCl is tolerated at concentrations up to 4% (w/v).
Isolated from antarctic soil (South Shetland Islands).
Unknown.
