Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex to umbonate with irregular margin and yellow-colored after 3 days on R2A agar at 30°C. Positive for esculin hydrolysis, gelatinase and β -galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, urease, arginine dihydrolase and glucose fermentation. D-Mannose is utilized. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannitol, malic acid, adipic acid, D-maltose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, trisodium citrate and phenylacetic acid. The strain SS1-37 (= NNIBRBA 8) was isolated from a riverside sediment of Nakdong River, Gyeongcheon-island, Sangju, Korea.
