Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, raised, and entire yellow colored after 2 days on R2A agar at 25°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis and urease and β -galactosidase activities, while negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, and arginine dihydrolase and gelatinase activities. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. D-Mannose, D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, and malic acid are utilized. Strain R8-4 (= NIBRBA0000114151) was isolated from a Sea water sample, Yeongdeok-gun, Korea.
