Gram-variable, motile (peritrichous flagella) rods, 0.8–1.0 x 3.0–5.0 μm. Produce ellipsoidal spores in swollen sporangia. Mature
spores have stripes on the surface.
spores have stripes on the surface.
Colonies are opaque, white, flat and smooth on nutrient agar. Aerobic & anaerobic
growth. Growth temperature 20-45 ºC, no growth at 50 ºC. Grow in 2% but not in 5%
NaCl media. Grow at pH 6.0-8.5; optimum pH 7.0.

Isolated from roots of Perilla frutescens in Seocheon County, Korea.
Can inhibit the growth of various fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, Chaetomium globosum, Cladosporium resinae, Colletotrichum
gloeosporioides, Corynespora cassicola, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Magnaporthe grisea, Phytophthora infestans, Pythium
aphanidermatum, R. solani AG 1-1, R. solani AG 2-2, R. solani AG 4, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Sclerotinia homoeocarpa and
Trichoderma viride, when extensively tested for their antimicrobial activity.
Can inhibit the growth of various bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Burkholderia glumae, Escherichia coli, Paenibacillus polymyxa,
Pseudomonas fluorescens, Xanthomonas oryzae and Xanthomonas vesicatoria, when extensively tested for their antimicrobial activity.
