Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive cells, having a rod-coccus cycle. Motile by flagella.
Colonies on YD agar are cream coloured. Growth occurs at initial pH values between
6 and 11 and at temperatures between 4 and 34 ºC. Optimum growth temperature is
28 ºC. Tolerates up to 2% NaCl. Aerobic.
Isolated from paddy soil, Japan.
Undetermined.
