Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive, ovoid to spherical, 0.5-1.0 x 0.5-1.5 µm, occuring singly, in pairs or
tetrads. Non-spore-forming. Non-motile. No accumulation of poly-bhydroxybutyrate
granules.
tetrads. Non-spore-forming. Non-motile. No accumulation of poly-bhydroxybutyrate
granules.
Colonies are cream-white, circular and convex with entire edges, non-pigmented.
