Cells are Gram-staining-positive, non-flagellated, nonpigmented and rod­shaped. Colonies are circular, entire, smooth and white­colored after 2 days on R2A at 30°C. Positive reactions are obtained for nitrate reduction, urease, esculin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase in API 20NE and negative reactions are obtained for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase and gelatinase. D­glucose, L­arabinose, D­mannose, D­mannitol, N ­acetyl­glucosamine, D­maltose, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid and trisodium citrate are utilized. Does not utilize capric acid and phenylacetic acid. Strain RS5­4 (= NIBRBA0000113951) was isolated from a sample of ginseng field, Iljuk, Anseong, Korea.
