Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Gram-negative, rod-shaped cells, approximately 0.3-0.5 μm in width and 1-6 μm in length. Older cultures contain many spherical cells (diameter 1-3 μm). Exhibit gliding motility when grown on dilute agar media. Cell mass is either yellow or 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, 3-OH anteiso-C15:0 and 3-OH iso-C16:0. DNA G+C content is 39-40 mol%.
