Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and coccoid- or oval-shaped. Colonies are Irregular, smooth, convex, glistening and cream yellow colored after 3 days on MA at 30°C. Oxidase- activity is positive. In the API 20NE strip, nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, urease, gelatinase and β -galactosidase activities and assimilation of D-glucose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose and trisodium citrate are positive, but indole production, glucose fermentation and arginine dihydrolase activity and assimilation of L-arabinose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid and phenylacetic acid are negative. Strain BM17 (= NIBRBA0000114306) has been isolated from a tidal flat sample, Wando, Korea.
