Halpern et al. 2013, type species of the genus.
Gram-negative rods, 0.6-1.1 x 1.2-3.0 µm. Motile by peritrichous flagella.
Colonies on LB agar supplemented with 10% sucrose are circular, smooth and
yellow-orange after 48 h of incubation at 28 ºC. Facultatively anaerobic. Growth occurs
at 4-35 ºC,  optimally at 28-30 ºC; does not grow at 37 ºC. Grows in the presence of up
to 5% NaCl (optimally 3%) and up to 60% sucrose (optimally with 10–25% sucrose).
Poor growth in the absence of sucrose. Grows on MacConkey agar, Columbia blood
agar and BHI agar. Not haemolytic.
Isolated from flower nectar of Amygdalus communis (almond) in northern Israel.
Undetermined.
