Choi, Lee, Jung, and Jeon 2013.
Gram-positive rods, 0.4-0.6/1.0-1.2 µm, V-form arrangement. Nonmotile. Spores are
not produced.
On Marine Agar, after 3 days of incubation, the colonies are convex, yellow. Grows well
on R2A agar, LB agar, NA and TSA supplemented to 2% NaCl. Aerobic. Grows
anaerobically on MA supplemented with nitrate. Nonfastidious. Grows at 10-37 ºC (30
ºC optimum), and at 6.0-9.0 pH (7.5-8.5 optimum). Can grow in 0-14% NaCl medium.
Isolated from seau-jeot (shrimp jeotgal), a traditional fermented seafood in South Korea.
Undetermined.
