Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile rods. Catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. Endospores are not formed. Chemoheterotrophic. Gliding motility is not observed. Cells produce non-diffusible carotenoid pigments (absorption maxima at 446 nm) but no flexirubin pigments. The cellular fatty acid composition is dominated by branched and saturated straight-chain fatty acids, with minor amounts of unsaturated and hydroxylated fatty acids. The major menaquinone is MK-6. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 36.2±0.4 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: The polar lipid profile of the type strain of the type species consists of phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids.
