Gram negative rods, 1.0-1.5 μm x 0.5 μm in diameter.
Forms mucoid colonies with regular margins. Brown-orange diffusible pigment & a
fluorescent pigment produced. Strictly aerobic, optimum growth temperature 30 °C.
Media: Trypticase Soy Agar   ± 5% sheep blood, Nutrient agar, King's B medium.
Isolated from Brassica napus & Arabidopsis thaliana rhizoplane.
Brassica napus root-associated bacteria. Possible pathogenic action on tomato. No hypersensitivity reaction produced on tobacco
leaves.
