Gram-negative ovoid to short rods, 1.0 x 1.2-1.5 μm, occuring singly or in pairs. Non-
motile.
Growth occurs between 15 and 42 ºC with the optimum at 37 ºC. The pH range is
6.0-7.8. Optimum growth occurs at pH 7.2. Colony pigment darkening greyish. No
growth on MacConkey agar or B. cepacia selective agar. Aerobic.
Isolated from an aquifer polluted with trichloroethylene (TCE) in Kururi, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Can degrade TCE in the presence of
phenol. Susceptible to sulfamethoxazole+trimethoprim, ampicillin, novobiocin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, kanamycin, penicillin G,
tetracycline, streptomycin and nalidixic acid. Resistant to rifampicin.
