Gram-positive, straight rods, 0.4-0.5 x 2.5-3.0 µm, Y-shaped cells occur. Non-motile.
Produce round endospores. Spores are located terminally, not deforming the cell
(admin note).

Growth occurs at 37-65 ºC (optimum 62 ºC), optimum pH range 8.0-10.5 (no growth at
pH 7.0, optimim pH 9.5-9.7). Optimal growth at 1% NaCl, tolerant to 3% NaCl. Yeast
extract stimulates growth. Vitamins are required. Strictly anaerobic.
