Cells are Gram-negative, halophilic, heterotrophic, non-flagellated and motile flexible short rods, which divide by binary fission. Cells do not form spores, are strictly aerobic and require Na+, sea salts and organic growth factors such as yeast extract or peptone for growth. Cells do not utilize carbohydrates. Cells contain oxidase, catalase and alkaline phosphatase. Major respiratory quinone is MK-6. Predominant fatty acids are i15:0, i15:1, 3-OH i17:0 and 2-OH i15:0/16:1 ω7c. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 35.8±0.5 mol%.
