Gram-positive, coccoid cells, 1.0-1.5 µm, occuring in pairs or chains. Motile.
Non-spore-forming.
Non-spore-forming.
Colonies formed on BHI after incubation for 48h at 37 ºC are nonpigmented, circular,
smooth, shiny, diameter 1–2mm, with entire margins. Grows at 10-45 ºC (optimum,
30-37 ºC), at 0-8.0% NaCl (optimum, 0-6.5% NaCl) in BHI medium. Non-haemolytic.
Facultatively anaerobic.
