(Hardoim et al. 2015) Li et al. 2016.

Old synonym:
Enterobacter oryzendophyticus Hardoim et al. 2015.
Gram-negative, straight rods, 0.8-1.0 x 1.8-3.0 μm. Motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on TSA medium are beige pigmented, 1-1.5 mm in diameter and convex
after 24 h at 37 ºC. Growth occurs at 15-42 ºC (optimum 28-37 ºC) and in 0-5% (w/v)
NaCl.
Isolated from internal root tissues of rice (Oryza sativa L.).
Resistant to ampicillin, streptomycin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, nitrofurantoin and colistin sulphate. Sensitive to rifampicin, gentamicin,
chloramphenicol and tetracycline.
Undetermined. Nitrogen-fixing bacterium.
