Microbacterium oxydans can grow at lower temperatures (4°C);[7] however, it struggles to grow at higher temperatures (48°C).[8] It has been found as an endophyte within plant tissues.[9][10] The bacterium is halotolerant with the ability to grow on media that is up to 10% sodium chloride.[11] On a TSA (tryptic soy agar) plate, Microbacterium oxydans colonies exhibit a striking bright yellow color.[12]
