expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative, rod-shaped and strictly aerobic. Do not form endospores. Non-diffusible pigments are produced. Chemoorganotroph. Cytochrome oxidase, catalase and alkaline phosphatase are positive. The predominant cellular fatty acids are branched-chain saturated and unsaturated, and straight-chain unsaturated fatty acids iso-C15:1, iso-C15:0, C15:0, summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15:0 2-OH and/or C16:1 ω7c) and iso-C17:0 3-OH. Polar lipid profile comprises phosphatidylethanolamine as the major component, three unknown aminolipids and one unknown lipid. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 34-35 mol%.
