Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.5 x 2.0-2.5 µm, occurring in pairs or filamentous. Motile.
Produce terminal, ellipsoidal to cylindrical endospores.
Produce terminal, ellipsoidal to cylindrical endospores.
Colonies on medium A (yeast extract Oxoid, 0.6%, NaCl 0.6%, pH 5.6 at 61 ºC) are
circular, cream, and smooth. Grows at 45-65 ºC, with an optimum at 61 ºC, at pH
5.0-6.5 (optimum pH 5.6) and in 0-3% NaCl (optimum 1% NaCl). On sugar media it is
able to produce exopolysaccharide. Facultatively anaerobic.
