Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive cocci or short rods. Non-encapsulated. Endospores are not formed.
Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, entire and cream-coloured. Growth occurs at
15-40 ºC (optimum, 30 ºC), at pH 6.0-9.5 (optimum, pH 6.5-7.0) and in the presence
of 1-17 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 6 %). Strictly aerobic.
Isolated from seau-jeot (fermented salted shrimp), a traditional fermented seafood in Korea.
Undetermined.
