Gram-negative rods, 0.4-0.7 x 1.0-2.0 µm. Motile by means of a polar flagellum.
Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on TSA are translucent, pale yellow, circular and usually 1-2 mm in diameter
after 2 days incubation at 30 ºC. Does not produce fluorescent pigment on King’s B
media. Growth occurs at 4-37 ºC (optimum, 30 ºC), but not at 42 ºC. Growth occurs at
pH 6.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–8.0). Growth occurs in the presence of 0-3% (w/v) NaCl
(optimum, 0.5-1%), but not in the presence of 5% (w/v) NaCl. No growth on
MacConkey agar. Aerobic.
Isolated from the sludge of an anaerobic (Anammox) bioreactor (2 strains). Denitrifying bacterium.
