, order
Rhodobacterales
, class
Alphaproteobacteria
, and in the phylum
Pseudomonadota
, currently includes two species with validly published names. Gram‐stain‐negative, oxidase‐ and catalase‐positive bacteria. Cells are coccoid or ellipsoid‐shaped and divide through binary fission. Aerobic or facultatively aerobic, chemoorganotrophs. Slightly halophilic or haloduric, mostly grow well in the salinity range of 0.5–13.0% (w/v) NaCl, with the optimum of 2.0–4.0%. Grow at pH range from 6.0 to 10.0, with an optimum at approx. pH 7.0–8.0. Mesophilic, optimal growth at 35–40°C, growth range 10–50°C. The colony color is beige. The major respiratory quinone is Q‐10. The predominant (>25% of the total) fatty acid is C

. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PME). Known habitats are marine environment, such as sediment from a mangrove forest and brown algae.
