Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are strictly aerobic, motile, Gram-negative rods. Produce non-diffusible carotenoid pigments, but flexirubin-type pigments are absent. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. The major cellular fatty acids are iso-15:0, iso-15:1 ω10c and 10-methyl 16:0. Oxidase activity is absent, but catalase activity is present. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 56.3 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
Emendation 2
1: The only polar lipid detected in the type strain of the type species is phosphatidylethanolamine.
2: Cells are non-motile. The major fatty acids (>10.0 % of total fatty acids) are iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified amino lipids and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content is 39–43 mol%.
