Gram-positive rods, 0.8-0.9 x 2.3 µm, occuring singly, in pairs or chains. Motile. Spores
are ellipsoidal, located centrally to terminally, slightly swelling the sporangium.
are ellipsoidal, located centrally to terminally, slightly swelling the sporangium.
Colonies are flat to convex, round or lobed, smooth and opaque. Grows at 43-75 ºC;
optimal growth at 65 ºC, at pH 5-9 and in 1% NaCl (no growth in 5% NaCl).
Facultatively anaerobic. Grows on Luria broth (LB) containing 0.5 or 1.0% xylose.
