Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Micrococcales / Beutenbergiaceae / Serinibacter

Cells are irregular rods (0.5 × 1.0–2.0 µm). Gram-stain-positive, not acid-fast. Endospores are not formed. Nonmotile. Aerobic to anaerobic. Good growth on complex organic media at 28–30°C. NaCl in the culture medium may be tolerated up to 10%. Oxidase-negative, catalase-positive. The peptidoglycan type is A4α with an L-Ser residue at position 1 of the peptide subunit. The acyl type is acetyl. The major cell wall sugar is galactose. The predominant menaquinone is MK-8(H₄ ). The major polar lipids consist of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The cellular fatty acid profile is dominated by the occurrence of iso- and anteiso-branched-chain acids. Mycolic acids are absent. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the genus is closely related to other genera of the family Beutenbergiaceae (95.1–96.3%).

DNA G+C content (mol%): 70.7 (HPLC).

Type species: Serinibacter salmoneus Hamada, Iino, Tamura, Iwami, Harayama and Suzuki. 2009, 2812^VP.
