Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-negative rods. Motile by a monotrichous flagellum. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are white-yellow and become mucoid in 16h. Vigorous growth on TSA
medium between 4 and 35 ºC with an optimal growth temperature at  28 ºC. No
growth at  37 ºC. Tolerates a pH range from 5 to 11, with optimal values between 6
and 7. Tolerates a concentration of NaCl up to 6% (w/v). Fluorescent pigment is
produced on King's B medium. Aerobic.
Isolated from Iris germanica plant-rhizomes at the Marimurtra Botanical Garden, City of Blanes, Catalonia, Spain.
Resistant to aztreonam, troleandomycin, rifamycin SV, minocycline, lincomycin, vancomycin, tetrazolium violet, tetrazolium blue,
nalidixic acid, potassium tellurite, niaproof 4, fusidic acid, and 1% sodium lactate. Sensitive to guanidine HCl and lithium chloride.
Undetermined.
