Gram-negative coccoid rods, 1.2-1.4 x 1.6-2.4 μm, occurring singly, in pairs, or in
short chains. Motile by means of 5-10 peritrichous flagella. Cells are frequently heavily
granulated. Accumulates PHB granules as storage material.

Colonies are wrinkled in fresh isolates but can become smooth upon subcultivation.
Under autotrophic growth conditions on a solid mineral medium colonies are round,
grayish pink, and opaque. Facultatively chemolithotrophic in an atmosphere
containing hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Can grow with dinitrogen as sole
nitrogen source. Growth occurs at 15-42 ºC, the optimum temperature is 30-35 ºC.
