Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 1.6 x 3.1 µm. Motile by two polar flagella. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are small, compact, and pale-yellow. Old colonies show a green pigment in
the center of the colony. In R2A medium, cells can grow between 20 and 35 ºC
(optimum 28 ºC). Strong growth at pH 6 but very weak growth at pH 5. Aerobic.
Isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat in Switzerland .
Undetermined.
