Brady et al. 2017.
Gram-negative rods, 0.6-1.0 x 1.0-2.0 μm, occuring singly or in pairs. Motile by
peritrichous flagella when grown at 25 ºC.
Colonies are cream on nutrient agar, round, convex and smooth with entire margins.
Grow at temperatures between 4 and 37 ºC. Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from Alnus glutinosa in the United Kingdom.
Undetermined.
