Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Actinomycetales / Dermabacteraceae / Devriesea

Short rods, occurring singly, in pairs, or in short chains. Non-spore-forming. Nonmotile. Non-acid-fast. Gram-stain-positive. Aerobic, microaerophilic, and anaerobic growth with small hemolytic colonies after 24 h of incubation at temperatures between 25 and 42°C. Catalase-positive. Positive for β-galactosidase, but no oxidase activity is observed. Acid is produced from glycerol and arbutin. Starch is not hydrolyzed. Urease- and pyrazinamidase-positive. Voges–Proskauer-positive. Cell-wall peptidoglycan type is A4γ m-Dpm–d-Asp–d-Glu, with the α-carboxyl group of d-Glu at position 2 substituted by Gly. The principal menaquinone is MK-8. The major polar lipids consist of phosphatidylglycerol and some unidentified phospholipids and glycoplipids. The following fatty acid components are present: C_14:0, iso-C_15:0, anteiso-C_15:0, C_16:0, iso-C_16:0, iso-C_17:0, and anteiso-C_17:0. The type species Devriesea agamarum is a lizard (reptile) pathogen, mostly causing dermal lesions.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 61.

Type species: Devriesea agamarum Martel et al. 2008^VP.
