Gram-negative rods, 0.6-0.7 x 1.6-2.0 μm. Motile by means of one polar flagellum.
The colonies are round, convex, colour beige, bright and with entire margins (1-3
mm diameter) on Luria-Bertani agar after incubation for 48 h at 30 ºC.
Non-pigmented. Growth occurs at 18-42 ºC (optimal temperature is 25-30 ºC), at a
pH of 6-10 and with 2-10% (w/v) NaCl. Strictly aerobic.
Isolated from crude oil-contaminated intertidal sand samples.
Unknown.
