Description

Aerobic, oligotrophic, and chemoheterotrophic. Gram-negative with a monoderm envelope. Cells are non-motile and dimorphic with short rods of ~0.8 × 0.4 µm and cocci of ~0.5 µm diameter. Do not form colonies on solid agar plates. Grows very slowly and reaches stationary phase at ~50 days of growth in artificial seawater medium. Light inhibits cellular growth.
