Cells are ovoid or rod shaped, are motile by polar flagella, and divide by binary fission. Gram negative; belong to the Alphaproteobacteria . Phototrophically grown cells form vesicular internal photosynthetic membranes. The color of phototrophic cultures is yellow to yellow-brown, while aerobic cultures are pink to red. Photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spheroidene series.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 58.8.
