Cells are Gram-staining-negative, non-flagellated, non-pigmented, and rod-shaped. Colonies are opaque, round, smooth, convex, and cream colored after 3 days on MA at 25°C. Positive for nitrate reduction and esculin hydrolysis in API 20NE, but negative for indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase, and β -galactosidase. N -Acetyl-glucosamine and malic acid are utilized. Does not utilize D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, trisodium citrate, and phenylacetic acid. Strain J4 (= NIBRBA 0000114100) has been isolated from a seawater sample, Gwangyang Bay, Korea.
