Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are 0.8-1.1 μm wide and 1.2-2.3 μm long. Cells are motile by means of a polar flagellum. Endospores are not formed. Gram-negative. Obligately aerobic. Oxidase-positive. Catalase activity is weakly positive. Tests for phototrophic growth, manganese oxidation and chlorate reduction are negative. The major respiratory quinone is UQ-8. The major cellular fatty acids are 16:1 cis-9 and 16:0; the only hydroxy fatty acid is 10:0 3-OH. The major phospholipids are PE 16:0/16:0 and PG 16:0/16:1. A significant amount of PE 17:0 and/or 17:0 cyclo/16:1 is present. The DNA G+C content is 69-70.5 mol% (HPLC).
