Gram-negative, rod-shaped cells, 2.5-3.3 µm wide and about 0.8 µm long. Motile by
one polar flagellum. Non-spore-forming.
Aerobic, optimal growth temperature 21 ºC. Growth can be observed at 4 ºC, but not at
41 ºC. Grows on Trypticase Soy Agar, Nutrient agar, King’s agar A and B. Produce a
fluorescent pigment (negative for type strain in von Neubeck's study). Non-haemolytic.
Type strain was isolated from the phyllosphere of grasses in Germany. No ice nucleation activity.
Possible plant pathogen. Not pathogenic to onion. Negative for potato soft rot.

Aesculin is hydrolysed. Weak oxidase activity.
Can utilize 2-aminoethanol, beta-hydroxybutyric acid, L-proline, L-histidine, DL-lactic acid, putrescine, quinic acid, succinaminic acid,
sucrose, D-trehalose, Tween 40, L-arabinose, D-arabitol, m-inositol, D-mannitol, mannose, fructose, galactose, D-galacturonic acid,
D-glucosaminic acid, D-glucuronic acid, L-asparagine, L-pyroglutamic acid, L-threonine and glycerol.

Negative results for: hydrolysis of starch, formation of levan from sucrose, reduction of nitrate to nitrite, denitrification, arginine
dihydrolase, DNase, indole production, formation of H
2S. No assimilation of: L-arabitol, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, D-cellobiose,
i-erythritol, glucose 6-phosphate, DL-alpha-glycerol phosphate, glycyl L-aspartic acid, p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, alpha-ketovaleric
acid, D-sorbitol and L-rhamnose.
