Gram-positive cocci, 1-1.5 μm in diameter. Endospores are not formed. Nonmotile.
Colonies are lemon-yellow on ISP-2, ISP-3, ISP-4 and ISP-5, cream on ISP-6 and
deep yellow on Bennett’s agar. Aerial mycelia are absent. Diffusible pigment is not
observed. Grows at 10-45 ºC (optimum, 28-30 ºC), at pH 4.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 7-8)
and in the presence of 0-15% (w/v) NaCl. Aerobic.
