Strains L2-4<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> and L2-109 formed translucent colonies and non-motile pleomorphic cells. Strains were strictly aerobic, and oxidase- and catalase-positive. The major fatty acids of strains L2-4<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> and L2-109 were 17\u200a:\u200a0 iso 3-OH, 15\u200a:\u200a0 iso and 15\u200a:\u200a1 iso G. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid, four unidentified aminophospholipids, four unidentified aminolipids and three unidentified polar lipids. Menaquinone 7 was the only respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the DNA of strains L2-4<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> and L2-109 was 42.0 and 41.4 mol%, respectively.
