Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative, non-motile and pleomorphic rod-shaped. Pigment is not of the flexirubin-type. Yellow to orange carotenoid-type pigments are produced. Facultatively anaerobic. Catalase- and oxidase-positive. The major end product of glucose fermentation under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions is pyruvate. Fatty acids consist mainly of branched-chain fatty acids, with iso-C13:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 and iso-C17:0 3-OH predominating. The predominant respiratory quinone is MK-6. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 31 mol%.
