Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria. Oxidase-positive and catalase-negative. Carotenoid-type pigments (absorption maxima at 425, 452 and 478 nm) are produced but flexirubin-type pigments are not produced (negative KOH test). Sodium and magnesium ions are essential for growth but calcium ions are not. The major cellular fatty acids of cells grown on TSA are iso-C15:1, iso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0 3-OH. MK-6 is the major respiratory quinone.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: The major polar lipids are two unidentified lipids; significant amounts of some other unidentified lipids and unidentified aminolipids are present.
