Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive, coccoid or oval cells, about 0.6 µm in diameter, occurring singly or in
clusters. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are light yellow, circular, lubricous and opaque. Grows at 10-40 ºC
(optimally at 28-30 ºC), pH 6.0-9.0, 0.5-25% NaCl, 0.5-30% KCl, and 0.5-30% MgCl2 *
6H2O. Aerobic.
Isolated from soil collected in Qinghai Province, China.
Undetermined.
