Cells are non-motile by gliding, non-spore-forming and strictly aerobic rods without flagella. Nitrate is reduced to nitrite. Gram-staining-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive. Major isoprenoid quinone is MK-6. Carotenoid pigments are produced with zeaxanthin as the major component, but flexirubin-type pigments are not produced. Predominant polar phospholipid is phosphatidylethanolamine. The G+C content of the type species is 47.9 mol% (HPLC).
