Gram-positive rods, 0.8-1.37 x 2.0-3.4 µm, occuring singly or in pairs and forming
chains in older cultures. Motile by peritrichous flagella. Produce ellipsoidal endospores
are formed in a central or subterminal position, not swelling the sporangia (.

Has a strong swarming behaviour on nutrient agar at temperatures between 30 and
45 ºC, forming an opaque, cream-coloured layer on the agar surface. Growth occurs
at 20-50 ºC (optimally at 45 ºC), at pH 5-9 (optimally at pH 8) and at 2-7% (w/v) NaCl
(optimally at 2% NaCl). Aerobic, no growth in anaerobic conditions.
