Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Gram-negative. Morphology varies from straight rods, in exponential phase, to coccoid cells, in stationary phase. Cells do not exhibit motility or gliding motility. Oxidase- and catalase-positive. Carotenoid pigments are produced, but flexirubin pigments are not produced. Obligately aerobic and chemoheterotrophic. NaCl is required for growth. Starch and aesculin are degraded. The major fatty acid types are branched acids and hydroxy acids. The predominant fatty acids are iC15:0 (24-28%), iC15:1 (14-21%) and 3-OH iC17:0 (25-27%). DNA G+C content is 55-56 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: MK-6 is the only respiratory quinone. The predominant fatty acids are iso-C15:0, iso-C15:1 ω10c, iso-C17:0 3-OH and C15:0. The DNA G+C content is 50-56 mol%.
