Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive cocci, 1.0-1.5 μm. Endospores are not formed. Nonmotile.
Nonencapsulated.
Colonies are pale yellow, circular, smooth and opaque after 2 days incubation on
Marine agar (MA) at 30 ºC. Cells grow at 25-37 ºC, at pH 7-9 and in the presence of
0-4% NaCl. Optimal growth conditions on MA or in MB medium are 30-37 ºC, pH 8-9
and 0-2% NaCl. Aerobic.
Isolated from jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented seafood.
Undetermined.
