Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped. Catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. Nitrate reduction is positive. The predominant menaquinone is MK-6. The major fatty acids (>10% of the total fatty acids) are iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 34.7 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: In addition, strains may be oxidase-negative. Nitrate reduction is negative. The major fatty acids are iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G, iso-C15:0 3-OH and iso-C17:0 3-OH. Two aminolipids are also included in the profile of major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content is 34.0–35.0 mol%.
