Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative, rods, 0.63-0.70 x 2.40–2.55 µm. Non-motile (non-flagellated).
Colonies are pale white, convex, translucent and circular with an entire margin on
R2A agar. Do not produce diffusible pigments. Grow at  4-30 ºC (optimum 25 ºC), at
pH 5.0-11.5 (optimum pH 7.5),  and in 0-2% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0%). Grow on R2A
agar, Luria-Bertani agar, nutrient agar, tryptic soy agar and MacConkey agar.
Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from a freshwater lake in Korea.
Undetermined.
