Gram-negative rods, 0.6-1.1 x 1.7-2.5 µm. Motile by polar flagella. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on Luria Bertani agar are circular and smooth, and the diameter is about 2
mm after 24 h cultivation. Growth occurs at 4-37 ºC. NaCl concentrations for growth
are 0-5 % (w/v). Fluorescein is produced on King B medium.
Isolated from the water of East Lake (also called Donghu Lake) of Wuhan in China.
Inhibits growth of the plant pathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas campestris pv. Badrii on LB medium.
