One strain tested: AF-2004T, the type strain.
Gram-negative, short, curved rods, 0.5-0.6 x 1.0-2.3 μm, motile by one polar flagellum.
Can grow in nutrient broth with: 1% to 17% NaCl (5% NaCl is optimal, variable for
12% NaCl). Growth in 0% NaCl is negative.
Growth temperature 10-45 ºC. No growth at 4 ºC. Optimal growth at 32-35 ºC.
Facultatively anaerobic, moderately halophilic. Growth occurs at pH 5-9.5 (optimal pH
8.0-8.5).
Isolated from Bakhtegan Lake, a hypersaline lake in Iran.
Resistant to amoxicillin, bacitracin, cephoxitin, kanamycin, penicillin, streptomycin, tobramycin.
Unknown.
