Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-gliding, aerobic and rod-shaped or spherical. Catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. Carotenoids are found, while flexirubin-type pigments are not. Predominant cellular fatty acids are summed feature 3 (iso-C15:0 2-OH and/or C16:1 ω7c), iso-C17:0 3-OH and iso-C15:0 3-OH. MK-6 is detected as the sole isoprenoid quinone. Major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine and three unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 34.1 mol%.
