Gram-negative, straight rods, 0.5-0.8 x 0.9-2.0 μm, non-sporulated. The capsular
antigen reacts with Klebsiella antisera K4 or K68. Motile by peritrichous flagella.
antigen reacts with Klebsiella antisera K4 or K68. Motile by peritrichous flagella.
Colonies are 1 to 3 mm in diameter, circular, shiny, opaque, cream-white and smooth
with an entire margin. Prodigiosin is not produced. Cultures give off a musty,
potato-like odor. Facultatively anaerobic, growth temperature 20-35 ºC (range may
vary from 10 to 40 ºC). Doesn't require growth factors.

Rarely solated from plants or food.
