Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative rods (1.0 × 1.2-4.0 μm) with peritrichous flagella, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Phenotypically similar to species of the genus Cronobacter, but distinguished by biochemical characteristics such as negative reactions for the Voges-Proskauer reaction, ornithine decarboxylase, aesculin hydrolysis and acid from inositol and positive reactions for acid from sorbitol and the methyl red test. No growth at or above 42°C. Environmental isolates may be able to fix nitrogen. Major fatty acids are C16:0, C18:1 ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH). The DNA G+C content of the type species is 50.1 mol%.
