Ecology
Source
isolated from a sample of sand-filtered seawater collected at Port Shelter, adjacent to the Coastal Marine Laboratory, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
Morphology
Cells are non-flagellated and motile flexible short rods (0.3-0.5 × 0.5-3.8 µm). Enlarged cells and filamentous cells are seen occasionally in stationary phase in broth culture. Colonies are light orange, circular, convex, smooth, glistening and translucent with an entire margin. Cells are motile by gliding but do not swarm on MA. Cells possess carotenoid pigments.
