Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive cells 0.4-0.5 x 1.0-2.0 µm. Cells in older cultures tend to be shorter
and coccoid. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming. Rod-coccus life cycle is not observed.
Colonies are circular, smooth and pale yellow. Growth occurs at 10-37 ºC (optimum
25 ºC) and pH 6.0-11.0 (optimum pH 7.0-8.0), and in 0-10% (w/v) NaCl. Facultatively  
anaerobic.
Isolated from a sea sediment sample collected from Tomiura Beach on the coast of Tokyo Bay, Chiba, Japan.
Undetermined.
