Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are rod-shaped and motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Gram-negative, oxidase-positive, alkaline phosphatase-positive, chymotrypsin-positive and leucine arylamidase-positive. Weak catalase-positive reaction. Grow heterotrophically under aerobic conditions. Can grow using Tween 40 as a sole carbon source, but utilize few other carbon sources. The main cellular fatty acids are C16:0, summed feature 4 (C16:1 ω7c) and summed feature 7 (ω7c, ω9c and ω12t forms of C18:1). The genomic DNA G+C content is 66.1-68.0 mol% (HPLC).
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: Grows heterotrophically under aerobic conditions or anaerobic conditions by denitrification. The range of DNA G+C content is 62.5–68.0 mol%.
