Lee, Kim and Oh 2005.
Gram negative, pleomorphic cells, non-spore-forming, motile by one polar flagellum.
Colonies are smooth, cream-coloured, glistening, low- convex,1.5- 2.0 mm diameter
(2 days / 25 °C). Grows on Marine agar and TCN-LB agar medium, is unable to grow
in the absence of Na+. Grows in nutrient broth with 1 - 6 % NaCl (1-2 % NaCl
optimum).
Anaerobic, temperature 10-31 °C (optimum 25-28 °C), pH 5-8 (optimum pH 7-8).
Isolated from an intertidal sediment from the Yellow Sea of Korea.
Unknown (none).
