Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.3-0.5 x 1.0-3.5 µm.
Colonies are white or colourless, circular, smooth and convex. Grows at 4-50 ºC
(optimum, 28-30 ºC), pH 7.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0-9.0) and with 0-10% (w/v) NaCl
(optimum, 3-7%). Aerobic.
Isolated from the stem of Suaeda aralocaspica, collected from the southern edge of the Gurbantunggut desert, Xinjiang, PR China.
Susceptible to vancomycin, clarithromycin, aztreonam, neomycin, minocycline, lincomycin, chloramphenicol, ampicillin, rifampicin,
streptomycin and gentamycin. Resistant to kanamycin and tetracycline.
Undetermined.
