Gram-negative rods, 0.3-0.5 x 0.7-1.0 μm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
On LB agar, colonies reach 1-3 mm within 5 days at 25 or 30 ºC are yellow, irregularly
circular and low-convex. Colonies grown on R2A, TSA, MacConkey and NB agar plates
at the same temperatures reach only 0.3-0.5 mm in diameter. With the exception of
MacConkey agar, weak growth occurred on the above-mentioned complex media at 42
ºC. The optimum temperature for growth is 30 ºC. Grows at pH 5.0-9.0, optimum pH
6.5-7.0. Can grow in 0-5% (w/v) NaCl.
Isolated from a farm soil near Daejeon, South Korea.
