S
pecies description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods. Motile. Produce ellipsoidal, terminal spores.
Colonies on nutrient agar are white, entire, round and 3-4 mm in diameter. Grows at
5-37 ºC and pH 6-10. Does not grow at 42 ºC or at pH 4 or 11. Tolerates up to 5.8 %
NaCl. Resistant to UV radiation. Grows on peptone.
Isolated from a cryogenic tube used for collecting an air sample from an altitude of  27-30 km.
Resistant to amoxicillin, doxycycline, streptomycin, nalidixic acid
, colistin, and penicillin. Sensitive to: cefuroxime, cefazolin, norflaxacin,
tobramycin, lomefloxacin, amikacin, roxithromycin, ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, cefoperazone, vancomycin, lincomycin, cephotaxime,
kanamycin, novobiocin, chloramphenicol, ampicillin, tetracycline, bacitracin, gentamicin G, polymyxin B, oleandomycin, spectinomycin,
rifampicin, erythromycin, carbenicillin
and co-trimoxazole.
