Gram-negative rods, 0.7-0.8 x 1.6-3.8 μm. Motile by a single flagellum. Produce poly-
beta-hydroxybutyrate.
beta-hydroxybutyrate.
Colonies are irregular and milky coloured on R2A medium. Grows well on chitin
basal medium, R2A and nutrient agar (NA; Difco). No growth trypticase soy agar
(TSA; Difco) or MacConkey agar (Difco). No diffusible pigments are produced. Growth
occurs at 10-40 ºC, 0-1 % NaCl and pH 5-8. No growth at 42 ºC.
