Cells are Gram-stain-negative, flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, and entire after incubation for 3 days on R2A at 20℃. Positive for oxidase, nitrate reduction, esculin hydrolysis, and β-galactosidase, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, gelatin hydrolysis, and urease in API 20NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetyl-glucosamine, potassium gluconate, and malic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not D-mannitol, D-maltose, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain IMCC34914 (= NNIBR2018143BA567) was isolated from a freshwater sample, Jungnang Stream, Dobong, Seoul, Korea.
