Gram-positive coryneform rods. Non-motile. Non-sporulated.
Colonies are yellow-orange, round and mucoid, with a thick and gummy consistency
(produced larger amounts of exopolysaccharide). Grows on YSC, YDC, medium-6,
CNS medium, CMM1 and BCT media; sucrose appears to be the preffered carbon
surce. Aerobe. Optimal growth at 24-28 ºC. Can grow at 10 ºC, but not at 37 ºC.

Seed-associated strains (isolated from tomato seed produced in California).
Non-pathogenic.
Not acid fast. Description is based on API Coryne, API ZYM and Biolog tests.
Positive results for acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, catalase, esculin
hydrolysis, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), alpha- and beta-galactosidase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, leucine arylamidase,
naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, starch hydrolysis (weak), acid production from glucose (weak).
Can utilize acetate, dextrin, maltose, trehalose, cellobiose, gentiobiose, sucrose, turanose, stachyose, raffinose, alpha-lactose,
melibiose, methyl beta-D-glucoside, D-salicin, alpha-D-glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, D-galactose, D-fucose, inosine, D-sorbitol,
D-mannitol, myo-inositol, glycerol, L-alanine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, pectin, D-gluconic acid, glucuronamide, quinic acid,
L-malic acid, acetoacetic acid and acetic acid.
Negative results for casein hydrolysis, citrate utilization, gelatinase, H2S production, lipase, methyl red, nitrate reduction, oxidase,
urease, acid production from: adonitol, glycerol, inulin, mannitol, mannose, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose & sorbitol.
