Gram-negative, filamentous rods, 1-1.5 x 2-12 µm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Grows intracellularly in mosquito (Aedes albopictus) cell culture and can grow
axenically in media containing enzymically digested proteins as nitrogen sources.
The optimum temperature for growth is 25 ºC with little or no growth at temperatures
exceeding 30 ºC. Microaerophilic, optimum atmospheric conditions for solid-phase
culture are 5% oxygen, balanced with carbon dioxide.

Isolated from a laboratory colony of Glossinia morsitans morsitans. The bacterium is an intracellular endosymbiont found in the
midgut, fat body and haemolymph of G. morsitans.
