Gram-positive rods, 0.9-1.1 x 2.5-4.0 µm. Motile by peritrichous flagella. Produce
ellipsoidal endospores that lie in central unswollen sporangia.
ellipsoidal endospores that lie in central unswollen sporangia.
Colonies are yellow-pigmented, circular, somewhat convex and non-translucent with
glistening surfaces and 1-2 mm in diameter on Marine Agar. No diffusible pigments
are produced. Slightly halophilic. Growth occurs with 0-20% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2-
5%), at pH 6.0-10.5 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0) and at 10-45 ºC (optimum, 30-35 ºC).
Good growth also occurs in the presence of 0.1-23% (w/v) KCl (optimum, 2-4%) or
0.1--25% (w/v) MgCl26H2O (optimum, 2-5%). Strictly aerobic.
