Gram-negative, small cells, 0.8-2.2 μm, motile by a single polar flagellum when it is
grown in liquid media. Cells swarm on solid medium by means of many lateral
flagella. Not luminescent and not pigmented.
Produce a novel exopolysaccharide in medium with glucose.

Produce a novel exopolysaccharide in medium with glucose.
After 3 days of growth, colonies on Marine 2216 Agar containing glucose are
swarming and about 0.9 cm in diameter (they are 0.2 cm in diameter without sugar).
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1-5% NaCl. No growth occurs without seawater base.
Medium used: Marine 2216 Agar (Difco) supplemented with glucose (30 g/liter).
Growth temperature 20-45 °C. No growth at 4 ºC. Facultative anaerobe.
Does not accumulate polyhydroxybutyrate.
