Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are small, Gram-negative, non-motile rods. Oxidase-positive and grows in aerobic or capnophillic conditions. Visible colonies appear after 2 days growth on blood agar plates at 30-42°C with 5% CO2. The major respiratory quinone is Q8 and the major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unknown phosphoaminolipids, two unknown phospholipids and two unknown aminolipids. The major fatty acids were C16:0 and C18:1 ω7c; C12:0 was only detected in trace amounts. The DNA G+C content of the type strain of this type species is 40%.
