Gram-negative, straight or curved rods, 0.6-0.8 x 2-3 µm, motile by double-sheathed
polar flagella. No lateral flagella on solid media. Accumulation of PHB inside the cells
is not observed.
polar flagella. No lateral flagella on solid media. Accumulation of PHB inside the cells
is not observed.
Colonies on agar media are flat, circular, off-white and nonluminescent with an entire
margin. The species is a facultative anaerobe capable of both aerobic and anaerobic
fermentative growth.
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 6% NaCl. No growth in 0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 8% NaCl,
10% NaCl and 12% NaCl.
Can grow at pH 10. Optimal growth at 30-35 ºC. No growth at 4 ºC or 40 ºC.

Catalase, indole (Heart Infusion Broth, 1% NaCl), arginine (1% NaCl), gelatin hydrolysis (1% NaCl, 22°C), gas production from
D-glucose, nitrate reduction to nitrite and lipase are positive.
Can utilize cellobiose, galactose, glucose, sucrose, mannose, xylose, citrate, fumarate, pyruvate, inositol, mannitol, l-alanine,
L-aspartate, L-glutamate, and L-threonine. The following compounds are not utilized as sole carbon and energy sources: D-arabinose,
lactose, melibiose, trehalose, acetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, DL-malate, malonate, tartrate, adonitol, dulcitol, sorbitol, L-arginine,
L-glycine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-ornithine, L-phenylalanine, L-tryptophan and L-valine.
Acid and gas are produced from fermentation of glucose, cellobiose, galactose, inositol, mannitol, mannose, sucrose and xylose.
Negative for Voges-Proskauer (1% NaCl), oxidase, lysine (1% NaCl), ornithine (1% NaCl), L-arabinose, dulcitol, lactose and D-sorbitol.
D-arabinose, dulcitol, lactose, sorbitol and trehalose are not fermented.
