General information
Description and emendation
Cells are strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile and non-gliding rods. Carotenoid-type pigments are present. Flexirubin-type pigments are absent. Oxidase is produced, but catalase is not. Several carbohydrates are used as sole carbon sources. Unable to grow in the absence of any of the ions Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. Requires 1-5% (w/v) NaCl for growth, with optimal growth at 3% NaCl. Gelatin, skimmed milk and starch are degraded. Major cellular fatty acids are saturated iso-branched and 3-hydroxy iso-branched fatty acids. Respiratory quinone is menaquinone 6. DNA G+C content is 34 mol%.
1: Cells are obligately aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. Catalase activity is species-dependent. Requires 0.5-7.5% NaCl for growth. Elastin is hydrolysed but DNA is not. The DNA G+C content is 34-37 mol%. Major polar lipids include phosphatidylethanolamine, unknown aminolipids and polar lipids.
2: The major polar lipid is an unidentified lipid; in addition, phosphatidylethanolamine and several unidentified lipids, aminolipids and phospholipids may be present. The polyamine profile includes major amounts of the triamine sym-homospermidine and minor amounts of putrescine. The predominant carotenoid pigment is all-trans-zeaxanthin. The DNA G+C content is 34.0-37.3 mol%. Cells are strictly aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, non-motile or motile by means of gliding. Negative for nitrate reduction. Activities of catalase and oxidase are variable.
3: The common major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified lipid.
