Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative, straight rods. Motile by means of one or two polar flagella. Fermentative, facultative anaerobes. Oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. The following results are obtained for the type species from API 20E strips after 48 h of incubation at 28°C: D-glucose, sucrose and melibiose are fermented, acetoin is produced, H2S and indole are not produced, gelatin and urea are not hydrolysed and nitrate is reduced to nitrogen. The major fatty acids are C16:0, summed feature 2 (one or more of C14:0 3-OH, iso-C16:1 I and unknown ECL 10.928) and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH). The DNA G+C contents of the type species are 43.9-44.3 mol%.
