Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive short rods and cocci, 0.8-1 µm in diameter, occurring singly, in pairs, or
in clusters. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies grown on NA after 48 h are small (<1 mm), pale yellow, round with entire
margins, of a low convexity, opaque, and smooth. Optimum temperature for growth is
20-30 ºC. Weak growth at 37 ºC, and no growth at 45 ºC. Growth is apparent at 4 ºC
after 1 week of incubation. Grows at pH 5.3-10.5 (optimally at pH 7) and in the
presence of 13% (w/v) NaCl (not in 15% NaCl). Aerobic.
Isolated from deep subsurface water of the South Coast of Korea.
