Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods,1.0 x 1.2-4.0 μm. Motile by peritrichous flagella.
Colonies on TSA are circular, smooth, creamy white and 1-2 mm in diameter within 2
days at 28 ºC. Grows at 15-40 ºC, optimally at 28-30 ºC., but not at 5 ºC. Growth occurs
in the presence of 0-8 % NaCl; no growth at 10 % NaCl. Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from roots of mangrove-associated wild rice (Porteresia coarctata Tateoka). Nitrogen-fixing bacterium.
Sensitive to chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, carbenicillin, ofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, sulphamethizole, kanamycin, tetracycline, neomycin,
ampicillin, rifampicin, gentamicin, co-trimoxazole, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, furazolidone, amoxycillin and norfloxacin. Resistant to
bacitracin, erythromycin and streptomycin,
Undetermined.
