Gram-positive cocci, 1.0-1.5 μm in diameter, occuring in pairs, tetrads and clusters.
Endospores are not formed. Nonmotile. Nonencapsulated. Not acid-fast.

The colonies are pale-yellow, 2.0-3.0 mm in diameter, opaque, smooth with irregular
edges. No growth above 30 ºC. Good growth between pH 5.7-7.7. Aerobic. No growth
on Simmons’ citrate. Growth at 7% NaCl, but no growth at 10% NaCl.
