Gram-negative rods.
Colonies are small to medium sized, about 1.0 mm in diameter, granulated, convex,
opaque, and have a sticky consistency. Colonies are greenish on NBTA indicator
plates and red yellow on nutrient plates after 72 h incubation. Maximum temperature
for growth in nutrient broth is 35 ºC. Produce luminescence.
