Gram-positive cocci, 0.2–0.6 μm, occurring in pairs, tetrads and packets. Endospores
are not formed. Nonmotile.
are not formed. Nonmotile.
Colonies are 1.5-2.5 mm in diameter, opaque, smooth and circular with regular
edges and yellow pigmentation after cultivation for 48 h on TSA at 28 ºC. Pink–brown
diffusible pigment is observed after incubation for 3 days in TSB at 28 ºC. In LB, the
temperature range for growth is 20-44 ºC and optimum growth is observed at 28-37
ºC. NaCl is not required for growth, but is tolerated up to 10% (w/v), optimum in 1-3%
NaCl. The pH range for growth 4.0-11.0, optimum at pH 6.0. Grows well in TSA, LB,
NA, ISP 1, ISP 5 and Czapek’s agar.

Isolated from from lateral root tissue of Prosopis laegivata grown on a mine tailing with high arsenic concentration at Villa de la Paz,
San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
Resistant to 20 mM arsenate and arsenite in the mineral medium.
