Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile. Do not form endospores. Non-diffusible pigments are produced. Chemoorganotroph. Cytochrome oxidase-, catalase and alkaline phosphatase-positive. The predominant cellular fatty acids are branched-chain saturated and unsaturated and straight-chain unsaturated fatty acids such as iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1, iso-C17:1 ω9c, C15:1 ω6c, iso-C15:0 3-OH, iso-C17:0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15:0 2-OH and/or C16:1 ω7c). Polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, two unknown aminolipids and one unknown lipid. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 42.2 mol%.
