and non‐spore‐forming actinobacterium. Gram‐stain‐positive. Colonies are circular, smooth, and light yellow on R2A agar. Rod‐shaped and motile cells. Growth occurs from 4 to 35°C, with an optimum temperature of 30°C, pH 6–9 (optimum pH 7), and in the presence of 5% NaCl. Oxidase‐negative and catalase‐positive. Predominant cellular fatty acids include anteiso‐C
