Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods 0.5-0.6 x 1.3-1.9 μm. Non-motile. Nonspore-forming.
Colonies are smooth and cream-coloured when grown on PGY medium. Fluorescent
pigment is not produced. Optimal growth is observed at 25 ºC (range 1-37 ºC), pH 6.0
(range pH 4.0-8.0) and in the absence of NaCl (range 0-1.5%, w/v) on PGY medium.
Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from a soil sample of a tea plantation collected from Zhenjiang city in China.
Susceptible to gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, novobiocin, rifampicin and streptomycin.
Undetermined.
