Lee et al. 2017.
Gram-positive, short rods 0.7-0.8 x 1.1-1.4 µm, occuring singly. Non-motile.
Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are light yellow, convex and round. Grows well on tryptic soy agar, nutrient
agar and R2A medium. Growth occurs at 4-33 ºC (optimally at 28-30 ºC), pH 5.0–10.0
(optimally at pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0-5.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimally at 0% NaCl).
Aerobic.
Isolated from forest soil in Ongjin county, South Korea.
Undetermined.
