Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 1.6 x 3.4 µm. Motile by one polar flagellum. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are small, compact, and orange. Old colonies show a green pigment in
the center of the colony. In R2A medium, cells can grow between 20 and 28 ºC
(optimum 28 ºC), in 1 and 4% NaCl. Aerobic.
Isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat (Triticum aestivum) .
Undetermined.
