Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 0.5-0.8 x 1.5-3.8 µm. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies grown on PCA at 28 ºC are circular, below 1 mm in diameter, with smooth
borders, opaque, yellowish, and creamy texture. In liquid culture (nutrient broth),
color changes from pale yellow in the exponential growth phase to intense yellow on
the stationary phase after 24 h at 28 ºC. Growth occurs at 4 to 40 ºC in 24 h but not at
42 ºC, in a pH range from 6 to 10 and with a salt concentration of 2-6%. The optimal
temperature, pH, and salinity of growth are 28 ºC, pH 8, and 0% salinity. Aerobic.
Isolated from the rhizosphere of Nicotiana glauca in Las Palmas Gran Canaria, Spain.
Undetermined.
