Biology and biochemistry

Delftia deserti cells are short rods and motile by means of one or two polar flagella. Cells are 1.06 ± 0.43 µm long and 0.75 ± 0.12 µm wide.[5]

This bacterium has been cultured on TSA. It grows at temperatures 20-45 °C, optimally at 30 °C. Growth occurs at pH 6-9 (optimally at pH 7), and in 0-3.0% NaCl. D. deserti is fermentative, positive for DNase activity and nitrate reduction. It can hydrolyse starch, cellulose, casein, extracellular peptidoglycan, chitin, urea, esculin, and gelatin. D. deserti is an obligate aerobe.[5]

There have been no reports of infection caused by D. deserti.[6]
