Cytochrome c oxidase test varies among species. Chemoorganotrophic. Denitrifying or nitrate reduction. No indole production or glucose fermentation. Some members have the capacity to degrade poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV). The major respiratory quinone is ubiquinone 8, and the major fatty acids are C 16:0 , summed feature 3 (C 16:1 ω7c and/or iso‐C 15:0 2‐OH), and C 18:1 ω7c , and the predominant hydroxy fatty acid is C 10:0 3‐OH.
