Gram-negative, nonspore-forming, rods, 1.2-2.4 μm in length and 0.8-0.9 μm in
diameter. Motile by one polar flagellum.
Colonies on YED agar are circular, convex, yellow, weakly translucent and usually 1-2
mm in diameter after 2 days growth at 28 ºC. No fluorescent pigments produced.
Produce a yellow pigment in media that contain glucose as the carbon source and
form a transparent ‘halo’ around colonies in media that contained insoluble bicalcium
phosphate as the phosphorus source.
Strictly aerobic, growth temperature 22-28 ºC (optimal 25 ºC). Can grow at 4 ºC but not
at 41 ºC. Other media: Nutrient agar.
Isolated from the rhizospheric soil of grasses in Spain.
Unknown.
