Gram-negative, motile, rods, 1.8-2.5 x 0.4-0.6 µm.
Colonies are smooth, nonpigmented, whitish and translucent, 3-4 mm in diameter.
Brown diffusible pigments produced on peptone-enriched media. No production of
pyocyanin on King A medium or fluorescent pigments on King B medium.
Strictly aerobic, optimal growth temperature 25-28 ºC. Can grow at 4 but not over 38
ºC. Growth is observed in 0-8% (w/v) NaCl. Optimum pH 6.5-8.5.
Media: Tryptic Soya Agar, Tryptic Soya Broth, Marine Agar 2216 & Marine Broth 2216.
Isolated from an ophiuran (brittle-star, an organism of the class Ophiuroidea resembling the starfish but having long slender arms)
specimen collected from the Fiji Sea.
Susceptible to ampicillin, carbenicillin, polymyxin, tetracycline, doxycycline, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, ofloxacin,
rifampicin, and streptomycin. Resistant to cephazolin, cephalexin, vancomycin, benzylpenicillin, chloramphenicol, lincomycin, nalidixic
acid, oxacillin, oleandomycin, and erythromycin.
Unknown.
