Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are non-spore-forming, Gram-stain-negative rods. Catalase- and cytochrome c oxidase-positive. Mesophilic. Chemoorganotrophic with aerobic respiratory metabolism. Poor metabolic versatility, although sugars or derivatives thereof can be used as carbon sources. The respiratory quinone is ubiquinone 8 and the DNA G+C content is 47 mol%. Major fatty acids are summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH) and summed feature 2 (C12:0 aldehyde, and C14:0 3-OH and/or iso-C16:1 I), with C16:1 ω7c and C14:0 3-OH predominating, respectively, in each of those categories. The polar lipids comprise phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and minor unidentified amino(phospho)lipids.
