Gram-positive cocci, about 1 μm in diameter, occurring in pairs and tetrads.
Nonmotile. Endospores are not formed.

Colonies are orange-yellow, circular, convex and smooth after 2 days cultivation on an
agar plate of NBRC medium 802. Growth is detected at 15-37 ºC (optimum 28 ºC)
and pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum pH is 7.0). Grows in 0-15% (w/v) NaCl. Aerobic.
