Gram-stain positive, aerobic, and nonsporulating actinobacterium. Colonies are yellow to deep yellow with age, irregular and convex. Cells are rod shaped and nonmotile. Optimum growth is between 28 and 30°C and pH 7. Tolerates up to 3% (w/v) NaCl. The peptidoglycan type is B2γ with dl-diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The respiratory quinones are MK-13 and MK-12. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and two unidentified glycolipids comprise the polar lipid profile. The genus belongs to the family Microbacteriaceae and is phylogenetically related to the genera Herbiconiux, Homoserinimonas, Leifsonia, and Salinibacterium. Rudaibacter terrae is the type and only species representing the genus. R. terrae 5GHs34-4T was isolated from greenhouse soil in Yongin region, Republic of Korea.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 64 (HPLC).

Type species: Rudaibacter terrae Kim, Moon, Hamada, Tamura, Weon, Suzuki and Kwon 2013, 4055VP.
