Gram-positive cocci, 0.6-1.2 μm, occuring in pairs. Endospores are not formed.
Nonmotile.
Nonmotile.
Colonies are pink–orange pigmented on nutrient agar. Grows at 10-37 ºC, but not at 4
or 42 ºC. The optimal growth temperature is 27 ºC. Grows in 0-7% NaCl. No growth
occurs in the presence of more than 10% (w/v) NaCl. The optimal pH for growth is pH
8. Aerobic.
