Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.3-0.6 x 0.7-1.2 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are 2mm in diameter, circular, convex and pale yellow after growth on
marine agar at 35
ºC for 3days. Grows at 10-45 ºC (optimum 35 ºC), at pH 6.0-12.0
(optimum 8.0) and in the presence of 0-12% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1% (w/v) NaCl).
Aerobic.
Isolated from sap of Populus euphratica collected in Mulei county, Xinjiang province, PR China.
Undetermined.
