Gram-negative, rod-shaped cells, with rounded ends, 0.5-1.0 x 1.2-2.0 μm. Nonmotile,
nonflagellated. No endospores or capsules are formed.
nonflagellated. No endospores or capsules are formed.
Can grow in nutrient broth with 6% NaCl. No growth in 0% or 1% NaCl. Growth occur
at 15 to 30 ºC. No growth at 37 ºC. Colonies on agar (ZoBell 2216E) are smooth,
beige, convex. Colonies are green on TCBS agar (selective media : thiosulfate-
citrate-bile salts-sucrose agar). Facultatively anaerobic, mesophilic, neutrophilic,
chemo-organotroph. No luminescence.
