**Morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics**
Cells were non-motile and not observed to form spores or possess flagella, though over 30 flagella or flagella-associated genes are present in the genome. In contrast, the genome for a non-motile close relative (_Porphyrobacter cryptus_, GenBank:16153) does not contain any flagellar genes so it is possible that strain Coronado
T is motile under specific conditions. Unlike most members of the _Erythrobacteraceae family_, strain
Coronado(T) CoronadoT is oxidase-negative. This strain is catalase-positive, and unable to hydrolze casein or starch.
Cells were oval or rod shaped and ranged in length from 1.2 μm to 2.2 μm with an average of 1.6 μm (Figure 1). Cell width ranged from 0.6 μm to 1.0 μm with an average of 0.8 μm.
