Gram-negative rods, 0.5 x 2 µm. Motile.
After 48 h at 30 °C, colonies are 0.5–1 mm in diameter with whitish translucent
appearance. The optimum temperature for bacterial growth is about 33 ºC and they
can grow up to 40 ºC. Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) and Guinea grass in Australia.
Plant pathogen. Experimental infection: low capacity to macerate potato tubers and chicory leaves or to cause symptoms on
sugarcane stems.
