Gram-positive short rods, 0.8 x 1.6 µm.
Colonies are white with a shiny surface, small after 48 h of incubation on MRS agar at
30 ºC under aerobic conditions. Facultatively anaerobic.

Isolated from leaves of a strawberry plant growing in Portugal.
The typical phenotypic characteristics, such as catalase activity and utilization of L-arabinose and sucrose, could play a role in the
adaptation of this species to the phyllosphere.
