Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods, 1.5-2.0 x 0.3-0.6 μm. Motile by unipolar polytrichous flagella. Non-
sporeforming.
Colonies on R2A are circular, convex and cream-coloured. Temperature range for
growth is 25-42 ºC; no growth occurs at 45 ºC. Optimal growth temperature is 25-30
ºC. Growth occurs in the absence of NaCl and in the presence of 1.5% (w/v) NaCl, but
not above 3.0% (w/v) NaCl.
Isolated from soil from a ginseng field in South Korea. Resistant to ampicillin (20 μg) and tetracycline (5 μg). Sensitive to kanamycin
(1 μg) and streptomycin (5 μg).
Undetermined.
