Cells are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile and rod-shaped. Growth on all tested media is slow. Growth occurs after 48 h incubation on tryptone soy agar and nutrient agar at 37°C; good growth also occurs at 30°C. Growth occurs in Luria-Bertani broth at 15-45°C with an optimum at 30°C, at which the generation time is 100 min. 1,3-Diaminopropane is the characteristic compound in the polyamine pattern, ubiquinone Q-8 is the single quinone and in the polar lipid profile phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol are predominant. The major fatty acids are C16:0, C18:1 ω7c and C14:0. The DNA G+C content is 46 mol%.
