Its species name is derived from Nanhai, the chinese name for the South China Sea. L. nanhaiensis has an optimum growth pressure of 0.1 Mpa, which is lower than the depth from which it was isolated. Growth occurs between 4-40 °C; however, the optimum growth temperature is between 28-32 °C.The species is catalase and oxidase positive.
