Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Gram-negative, coccobacilli, approximately 0.3-0.5 μm in width and 0.4-1.0 μm in length. Exhibit gliding motility. Cell mass is orange. Flexirubin pigments are not formed. Do not form resting cells or spores. Strictly aerobic and chemoheterotrophic. Produce catalase. Major fatty acids include iso-C15:1 ω10c, anteiso-C15:1 ω10c, iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0, C16:1 ω7c, anteiso-C17:1, C18:1 ω9c and 3-OH iC16:0. Mean DNA G+C content of the type species is 35 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: Cells lack the ability of capnophilic metabolism. sym-Homospermidine is the major polyamine. Isoprenoid quinone (MK-6) is detected as the major respiratory quinone.
