Gram-negative, 0.6 x 1.5-2.5 µm,straight or curved rods, motile by 1-2 polar or
subpolar flagella. No lateral flagella on solid media, not swarming on solid media.
subpolar flagella. No lateral flagella on solid media, not swarming on solid media.
Colonies are small, circular, convex and entire, 4 mm in diameter, brown to cream.
Can grow in nutrient broth with more than 1.75 % NaCl. Temperature range from 4 to
37 ºC.

Oxidase, catalase, gelatin hydrolysis (1% NaCl, 22 ºC), arginine (1% NaCl, weak
reaction), phosphatase, protease (casein hydrolysis), lecithinase & lipase (Tween
20 & 80) positive. Utilization of xylose, D-galactose, glycine, cellobiose, D-mannitol,
trehalose & D-glucose is positive.
Nitrate not reduced to nitrite. Negative results for Voges-Proskauer (1% NaCl), indole production, H2S production, beta-galactosidase,
urease, alginase, chitinase, sulfatase, L-ornithine, L-lysine decarboxylase & gas production from D-glucose. Utilization of sucrose,
L-arabinose, propionate, butyrate, sorbitol, myo-inositol, ethanol, phydroxybenzoate & aminobutyrate is negative.
Maltose utilization is variable.
