Gram negative, curved rods, 1.8 - 2.4 x 0.7-0.8 µm, motile by means of a single,
polar, sheathed flagellum (in liquid media).
polar, sheathed flagellum (in liquid media).
Colonies on agar media (peptone/yeast extract glucose agar Difco) are red, circular &
non-swarming. Non-luminescent. The red pigment is prodigiosin.
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1 to 10% NaCl. No growth in 0% NaCl. Growth occur
at 20 - 40 °C (optimum 25-30 °C. No growth at 4 or 45°C. pH 7.0 optimum
Facultatively anaerobic. Mesophilic.
