Cells straight to slightly curved rods, motile by polar flagella and multiply by binary fission. Cells single or in pairs, and may stick together and form clumps. Gram negative, belong to the Gammaproteobacteria, and contain internal photosynthetic membranes of vesicular type with bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids as photosynthetic pigments.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 68.9–70.4.
