Gram-variable rods and filaments, 1.8 µm diameter, motile. Forms central, ellipsoidal
endospores which do not swell the sporangia.
endospores which do not swell the sporangia.
Colonies are opaque with matt surface, circular, flat, off-white. Prototrophic, use
aromatic acids and fenols, but not carbohydrates and aminoacids (excepting glycine)
as carbon and energy sources. Does not grow on peptone or tryptone media, but may
be cultivated on yeast extract media containing sodium acetate or benzoate. Growth is
observed at pH 7; optimum temperature 32 ºC. NaCl, allantoin or urate are not
required for growth. No growth in 5, 7 or 10% NaCl.
