Gram-positive cocci. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies grown on tryptic soy yeast agar plate, have a creamy colour and irregular
form. Growth occurs on TSYA at 15-37 ºC (optimum, 37 ºC) and pH 6-9 (optimum, pH
7) in the presence of 0-5.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.5% (w/v) NaCl). Facultative
aerobic.
