Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods, motile by means of one polar flagellum.
Colonies are smooth with regular margins and white–yellowish on King’s A and B
medium. Produce a pigment showing a light yellow–green fluorescence by irradiation
with UV-light at 350 nm. Beta-haemolysis is prouced. Optimal growth temperature is
21 ºC. At  4 ºC growth can be observed, but not at 41ºC.
Isolated from the grass phyllosphere.
Unknown. No ice nucleation activity.
