Gram negative, non-capsulated, straight rods, 0.7–1.0 x 1.4–1.9 µm, motile with one
to three polar flagella. Grouping in pairs, short chains or singly.
to three polar flagella. Grouping in pairs, short chains or singly.
Colonies are translucent, glistening, convex, and round with entire edges and a
smooth surface having a slight yellow tint. Colonies weakly produce a water-soluble
reddish brown pigment depending on conditions of the culture and media. No
fluorescent pigment produced. No levan production from sucrose. Accumulates poly-
beta-hydroxybutyrate. Can grow in Cohn’s, Fermi’s, and Uschinsky’s solutions.
Tolerates 3% but not 5% NaCl. Does not require an organic growth factor. Growth
temperature 4 to 38 ºC, optimum 32-35 ºC.

Isolated from rice seedlings and from bed soil in nursery boxes in Japan.
Does not rot potato tuber slices. Tobacco hypersensitivity reaction negative.
