Gram-negative rods, 1-1.3 x 3-4 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on R2A are whitish, up to 3.5 mm in diameter. Grows at 5-30 ºC, optimally
at 25-30 ºC. No growth at 35 ºC. Grows at pH 5.0-9.2, optimally at 8.2-9.2. Grows well
at NaCl concentrations up to 3% and delayed at 4% and 5%. No growth at 6% NaCl.
Facultatively anaerobic.

Isolated from a biofilm layer on top of a tufa deposit of the hard water creek Westerhofer Bach, near Westerhof, Lower Saxony, Germany.
Sensitive to mezlocillin, cefatolin, cefotaxim, imipenem, aztreonam, tetracycline, gentamicin, amikacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, kanamycin,
and doxycycline. Moderate sensitivity to penicillin G, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, ticarcillin colistin, polymyxin B,
nitrofurantoin, neomycin, vancomycin, and pipemidic acid. Resistant to oxacillin, lincomycin and bacitracin.
