Gram-positive, motile rods, 1.0 x 2.0-5.0 µm. Produce subterminal, ellipsoidal
endospores (0.9-1.0 x 1.5-2.0 µm) in unswollen sporangia.

Colonies are yellowish cream, with mounds and lobes of amorphous slime, 2-4 mm
in diameter after 2 days at 30 ºC; colonies on tyrosine agar are brown. Growth
temperature 20-55 ºC, pH 6-7. Grows in 2-3% NaCl, (up to 8% NaCl in Kim's study).
NaCl, alantoin or urate are not required for growth. Facultatively anaerobic.
