Gram-negative rods, 1.0-1.2 x 1.6-2.4 µm. Motile by one or two polar flagella.
Non-spore-forming.
Non-spore-forming.
On plate count agar colonies are pale yellow to light cream in colour, opaque, round
with entire to somewhat undulate margins, raised, smooth, glistening and 1-2 mm in
diameter after growth for 2 days at 27 ºC. No diffusible pigments are produced when
cultured on standard methods agar plates. Fluorescent pigment production on King’s
B medium. Growth occurs at 4-35 ºC, in the presence of 0-4% (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6-
8. Aerobic.

Isolated from a lesion formed on the leaf of a lettuce plant (Lactuca sativa var. capitata) with bacterial rot disease, which was
sampled in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, in 1977.
sampled in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, in 1977.
Produces bacterial rot disease in lettuce. Positive for potato soft rot, but negative for tobacco hypersensitive reaction.
