Yoon, Lee, Kim and Oh 2005.
Gram-negative, pleomorphic cells, nonspore-forming, motile by one polar flagellum.
Colonies are smooth,  cream-coloured, glistening, low-convex,1.5- 2.0 mm diameter
(2 days / 25 ºC). Grows on  Marine agar and TCN-LB agar medium, is unable to grow
in the absence of Na+. Grows in nutrient broth with 1-6% NaCl (1-2% NaCl optimum).
Anaerobic, temperature 10-31 ºC (optimum 25-28 ºC), pH 5-8 (optimum pH 7-8).
Isolated from an intertidal sediment  from the Yellow Sea of  Korea.
Unknown (none).
