Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative short rods, 0.6–0.7 x 1.0–1.2 μm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on nutrient medium are beige-coloured, circular and raised with a diameter
of 1 mm. Growth occurs after 4-6 days of incubation, at pH 7-8, at 10-45 ºC (optimum
at 25-30 ºC) and 0-2% NaCl concentration (optimum 0-1%). Aerobe.
Isolated from an activated sludge sample of a bioreactor, which treated the leachate of a landfill site located in Odorheiu Secuiesc,
Romania.
Undetermined.
