Cells are Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, nonpigmented and rod-shaped. Colonies are circular, convex, entire and cream colored after incubation for 4 days on TSA at 30 ° C. Positive for nitrate reduction, glucose fermentation, esculin hydrolysis and β - galactosidase, but negative for indole production, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatin hydrolysis in API 20 NE. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, D-mannitol, N-acetyl-glucosamine, D-maltose, potassium gluconate, malic acid and phenylacetic acid are utilized as sole carbon sources, but not capric acid, adipic acid and trisodium citrate. Strain BE 6 - 1 (= NIBRBAC 000498660) was isolated from a tidal flat sample, Eulsuk Island, Korea.
