Gram-stain-positive, nonsporeforming, motile, irregular-shaped rods, the cell division zone being thicker than the poles of the cell. No mycelium is produced. Catalase-positive. Oxidase-negative. Growth on complex media is observed in a temperature range of 2–25°C. Optimum 4–10°C. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contains D-lysine as a diamino acid. The glycan moiety of the peptidoglycan contains acetyl residues. The major isoprenoid quinone is menaquinone MK-9. Mycolic acids are not present. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and an unknown glycolipid were detected in the polar lipid extracts. The main cellular fatty acids are C_15:0 anteiso, C_16:0 iso, and C_16:0).

DNA G+C content (mol%): ~71.

Type species: Frigoribacterium faeni Kämpfer, Rainey, Andersson, Nurmiaho Lassila, Ulrych, Busse, Weiss, Mikkola and Salkinoja-Salonen 2000, 362^VP.
