Old synonym:
Enterobacter oryzae Peng et al. 2009.
Gram-negative straight or slightly curved rods, 0.8-1.161.4-2.0 μm. Motile by subpolar
flagella.
Colonies on VM medium are circular, convex and translucent, with a diameter of 3
mm within 3 days at 28 ºC. Growth occurs at 10-40 ºC (optimum 28-37 ºC), at pH
3.5-10 and in 0-5% NaCl media. Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from surface-sterilized roots of the wild rice species Oryza latifolia. Resistant to erythromycin, neomycin, ampicillin,
chloramphenicol, streptomycin, tetracycline and gentamicin. Suscepible to kanamycin.
Undetermined. Nitrogen-fixing bacterium.
