Gram-negative short rods, 0.5-0.8 x 0.3-0.6 μm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are pale yellow and circular with an entire margin after growth on nutrient
agar at 30 ºC for 5 days. Grows at 15-40 ºC (optimum 30 ºC), but not at 4 or 42 ºC, and
at pH 5.5-9.0 (optimum pH 7.0). Aerobic.
Isolated from soil of a ginseng field in South Korea.
Undetermined.
