Gram-negative, straight or curved, small cells 0.5-2.0 µm, motile, presenting a
sheathed polar flagellum in broth and lateral flagella on solid media. No swarming on
complex media.

Colonies on Marine Agar are flat, circular, and off-white. Non-hemolytic.
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1%, 6%, 8%, 10% NaCl. No growth in 0% or 12%
NaCl medium. Growth temperature 4-40 ºC. Facultatively anaerobic. Medium used:
Marine Agar (Difco). Nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
