Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.7-1.3 x 4.2-10.0 µm. Motile by peritrichous flagella. No spores
were detected.
Growth occurs at 20-45 ºC (optimum 37 ºC), pH 6.5-8.5 (optimum 7.5) and in the
presence of 1.0-7.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2.0-3.0%, w/v). Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from a sediment sample collected from the coast of Weihai, PR China.
Undetermined.
