On Columbia agar supplemented with 5% sheep blood and on BHI agar, colonies
are yellowish, smooth and circular with entire margins (1 mm in diameter after
cultivation at 37 ºC for 24 h). Grows on KAA agar with positive aesculin reaction
and grows weakly on Slanetz and Bartley medium with tiny dark-red colonies. Grows
at 10 ºC and 45 ºC, at pH 9.6 and with 6.5% NaCl.
