Gram-negative, straight rods, 2-5 x 1 μm. Motile by a single polar flagellum.
Colonies are translucent and round with convex surfaces and smooth edges.
Non-fluorescent. Can grow at between 25 and 42 ºC on Luria-Bertani medium, Tryptic
soy agar and in NaCl concentrations up to 2.5%.
Isolated from oil fields (soil) in India. Butane-utilizing strains IMT37T and IMT40 were isolated from soil samples by the enrichment
method, using liquefied petroleum gas as the sole source of carbon.
Unknown.
