Gram-negative rods, 1.6-1.9 x 0.8-0.9 μm. Motile by a polar tuft of flagella. Non-
sporeforming.
Colonies are round, cream-coloured with yellow in the centre, smooth, convex with
entire margins and that are 2-3 mm in diameter. Grows on BSE medium at 29 and 37
ºC, but not at 42 ºC. Does not grow on MacConkey agar or B. cepacia selective agar
medium at 29 or 37 ºC. Aerobe.
Isolated from the rhizosphere of maize and from surface-sterilized leaves of sugar cane cultivated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Nitrogen-fixing bacterium.
