Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive (or variable) bent rods. A rod-coccus cycle may be observed.
Colonies are circular, convex and pale yellow in colour after 24 h cultivation at 30-37
ºC on TYB, YDC or PYES agar. Growth occurs at 15-42 ºC (optimum 30-37 ºC) and
pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum pH 6.0-8.0).  Growth occurs with 0-3 % (w/v) NaCl, but not with
4% (w/v) NaCl. Moderate growth on Luria–Bertani agar. Aerobic.
Isolated from a polluted forest soil sample in Anhui Province, China.
Undetermined.
