Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.9/3.0-5.0 µm, motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Form
terminally or centrally ellipsoidal endospores, not swelling the sporangia.
terminally or centrally ellipsoidal endospores, not swelling the sporangia.
Colonies on nutrient agar are circular, flat, smooth and grayish yellow; brown-red
pigment is produced on tryptone-soya agar. Growth is promoted by activated carbon
and graphite. No anaerobic growth. NaCl, allantoin or urate are not required for
growth. Grow at pH 5.6-7 and 2-7% NaCl. Growth temperature is 17-47 ºC. No growth
at 10 or 50 ºC.
