Gram-negative pleiomorphic rods, 0.5 x 1-2 μm. Motile. Non-sporeforming.
Colonies are about 3 mm in diameter after 24 h incubation on tenfold-diluted TSA
medium at 28 ºC. They are white, smooth and mucoid. No diffusible or fluorescent
pigment is produced on TSA and Pseudomonas F agar. Produce large amounts of
EPS when grown on sugar-enriched agar media (2% glucose, xylose, fructose,
sorbitol, arabinose, xylose, mannitol or inositol).

Isolated from vertisol microaggregates in Martinique (soil).
Undetermined. Some strains were isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.
