expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile and strictly aerobic rods. Cells contain carotenoid pigments but not flexirubin-type pigments. Oxidase, catalase and nitrate reductase activities are positive. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified aminolipids, three unidentified lipids and one unidentified phospholipid. The only menaquinone is MK-6. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 36.9 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids are iso-C17:0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/ω6c), iso-C15:1 G and iso-C15:0.
