Cells are strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, orange-pigmented, non-flagellated and rod-shaped. Gliding motility is absent. Oxidase and catalase activities are present. Non-diffusible carotenoid-type pigments are produced, but flexirubin pigments are absent. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. The cellular fatty acid composition is dominated by iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 G, iso-C17:0 3-OH and C15:0.
