Gram-positive cells showing a rod-coccus cycle. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are circular, slightly convex and pale yellow with entire margins, 2.5-3.0 mm
in diameter after growth on Yeast extract - dextrose agar for 72 h at 30 ºC. Growth
occurs at 12-37 ºC, optimally at 28 ºC. No growth at 4 ºC and 42 ºC. Grows in the
presence of 0-2% (w/v) NaCl. The pH range for growth is 5.5-9.0. Aerobic.
Isolated from the rhizosphere soil of a cypress tree (Cupressus sempervirens) collected from Mianyang in Sichuan province, China.
Undetermined.
