Gram-negative rods, 1.0-2.0 x 1.6-3.5 µm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Smooth, translucent, glossy, round, and flat colonies of 1-2mm diameter appear after
incubation on TSA at 30 ºC for 24h. Additionally, smooth, beige, glossy, round and
convex colonies that are brighter and have a smaller diameter of 0.5-1mm are
present. Production of fluorescent and non-fluorescent pigments on King B agar is
variable. No pigment is produced on King A agar. Grows on cetrimide agar and R2A
agar. Shows no beta-haemolysis on blood agar. Grows at 4-34 ºC (optimally at 25-29
ºC) pH values between 5.5 and 8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0-7.0) and in 7.0% NaCl (w/v;
optimum, 0.5-1.0%). Aerobic; no anaerobic growth.
Isolated from skimmed milk concentrate and bovine raw milk in Germany.
Undetermined.
