Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, strictly aerobic, yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped. Gliding motility is absent. Oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. Cells produce non-diffusible carotenoid pigments but flexirubin pigments are absent. Cellular fatty acids are dominated by iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0 3-OH, iso-C15:0 3-OH, C15:0 and iso-C15:1 G. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. The polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, one unidentified phospholipid and seven unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 34.4 mol%.
