Gram negative rods, 0.7 x 1.2-2.5 um. Motile.
Grows on pulp mill effluents with resin acids by using them as a carbon source.
Resin acids are diterpenoid carboxylic acids which occur naturally in trees (pines).
Colonies are clear, translucent, smooth, circular and convex. Aerobic, optimum
temperature 30 ºC. Can grow on Trypticase Soy Agar; Trypticase Soy Broth.

Isolated from soil and aerated wastewater discharges of bleached kraft wood pulp mills.
Unknown pathogenicity (none).

Bacteria is able to degrade dehydroabietic acid.
Positive results for catalase, hydrolysis of aesculin, oxidase, assimilation of: D-mannose (weak), myo-inositol, maltose, D-sorbitol,
sucrose, D-trehalose, monomethyl succinate, D-glucosaminate, D-glucuronate, p-hydroxyphenylacetate (weak), succinamate,
D,L-carnitine, urocanate, putrescine, 2-aminoethanol, D,L-alpha-glycerol phosphate, abietic acid, dehydroabietic acid, linoleic acid,
pyruvic acid, L-arabinose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-xylose and glycerol. Uses poorly 12- plus 14-chlorodehydroabietic and palmitic
acids.
No utilization of pimaric acid, isoopimaric acid, acetic acid, formate, propionate and glycyl L-glutamate.
