Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are rod-shaped, non-motile and Gram-staining- and Gram-reaction-negative. Do not form endospores. Require Na+ ions for growth. Produce non-diffusible yellow pigments but no flexirubin-type pigments. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6 and the predominant polar lipid is phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids are iso-C15:1 G, iso-C15:0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15:0 2-OH and/or C16:1 ω7c), an unknown acid with an equivalent-length of 13.565 and iso-C17:0 3-OH. Oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 43.9 mol% (HPLC).
