Gram-positive rods, 0.75 x 5.0 µm. Motile. Produce terminal, spherical endospores.
Colonies are rough and cream in colour. Growth occurs at 40-70 ºC (optimum growth
at 55-60 ºC), at pH range 6.0-10.0 (optimum pH is 7.5-8.0). Can grow in 4% NaCl
broth. Facultative anaerobe.

Positive results for catalase (weak), gelatinase, oxidase, starch hydrolysis, acid production from: fructose, glucose, D-galactose,
maltose, D-mannose, D-mannitol and sucrose.
Can utilize: fructose glucose, glycogen, mannitol, raffinose, sucrose, starch and xylose.
Negative results for casein, citrate utilization, H2S production, indole production, methyl red test, tyrosine, urease, Voges-Proskauer test,
acid production from: L-arabinose, lactose, raffinose, D-sorbitol and D-xylose.
No utilization of: L-arabinose, D-mannose, L-rhamnose and lactose
Contradictory results for nitrate reduction.
