Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.7 x 0.6-1.2 µm. Motile by means of a single polar or
subpolar flagella. Produce round, central endospores in slightly swollen sporangia.
Colonies on Marine Agar are circular to irregular, raised, glistening, smooth, yellowish
orange and 2.0-3.0 mm in diameter after 2 days of incubation at 37ºC.
Growth occurs at 4-50ºC, but not at 55ºC (optimum 37 ºC; pH 6.0-11.0 (optimum pH 7-
8); in 0-30% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 10% NaCl). Aerobic.
Isolated from seawater collected from a sandy beach in a southern state of Malaysia.
Susceptible to gentamicin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, colistin, bacitracin, nalidixic acid and tetracycline. Resistant to ampicillin,
penicillin G, carbenicillin, rifampicin, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, erythromycin and sulfamethoxazole.
Undeteremined.
