Gram-positive rods, 0.6- 1 x 1.2-4 µm. Non-motile. Produce round, terminal
endospores in swollen sporangia.
endospores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies on Marine Agar are round, smooth, shiny, flat to raised and yellow. Growth
occurs at 25-45 ºC, with optimum growth at 30-35 ºC. The pH range for growth is 9-
12, with optimum growth at pH 10-11. Grows in 0-24% (w/v) NaCl with optimum
growth at 8-12% NaCl. No anaerobic growth.
