Siansivirga Hameed et al. 2013
General information
Description and emendation
Cells are Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, nonspore-forming, chemoheterotrophic, and mesophilic; catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. Cells are typically rod-shaped with rounded ends, nonflagellated, and motile by gliding. Zeaxanthin is the predominant xanthophyll. Flexirubin-type pigments are absent. Major isoprenoid quinone is MK-6. The major fatty acids are iso-C15:0 (14.8%), iso-C17:0 3-OH (11.8%), iso-C15:1 G (10.6%), anteiso-C15:0 (9.7%), C16:0 (8.1%), iso-C16:0 3-OH (7.9%), iso-C15:0 3-OH (7.5%), and summed feature 3 containing C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c (7.5%). PE, four unidentified aminolipids four unidentified lipids, and an unidentified glycolipid are the polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 33.7 mol%.
1: Strict aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, gliding motility is variable, oxidase variable.
