Gram-negative, curved rods, 0.5-0.6 x 1.0-3.2 μm, motile by one polar flagellum, rarely
two polar or subpolar flagella. Not swarming on complex media. No lateral flagella on
solid media.
two polar or subpolar flagella. Not swarming on complex media. No lateral flagella on
solid media.
Colonies are circular, convex, opaque, smooth, and cream colored.
Broth cultures are uniformly turbid.
Can grow in nutrient broth with 1% NaCl (variable) to 12% NaCl. Growth in 0% NaCl is negative for S. costicola subsp. costicola , S.
costicola subsp. alcaliphilus and positive for S. costicola subsp. vallismortis. Growth in 20% NaCl is positive for S. costicola subsp.
costicola , S. costicola subsp. alcaliphilus and negative for S. costicola subsp.
vallismortis.
Growth temperature is 5-50 ºC. No growth at 4 ºC. Optimal growth at 37 ºC. Growth at 50 ºC is positive for subsp. vallismortis,
negative for subsp. costicola and subsp. alcaliphilus.
No growth factors are required, but yeast extract enhances growth. Facultatively anaerobic, chemoorganotrophic, moderately
halophilic. Growth occurs at pH 5-10 (optimal pH 7.5). Subsp. alcaliphilus requires pH 9.
