Cells are ovoid or rod shaped, motile by subpolar flagella, divide by binary fission. They are Gram negative and are members of the Alphaproteobacteria . Colonies are circular, smooth, slightly convex, and pink-to-red in color. Absorption spectra of cell suspensions have major maxima in the near infrared region at 805–807 nm and a smaller one at 868–873 nm (Figure 1). Bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a is present. The major carotenoid is spheroidenone. Phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol are present. The main cellular fatty acid is C18:1.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 56–60.

Type species: Roseobacter litoralis Shiba 1991b, 331 (Effective publication: Shiba 1991a, 144.)
