Gram-positive cocci. Nonmotile. Endospores are not formed. Nonlipophilic.
Colonies are 1-2 mm in diameter, convex with entire margin, circular shape, the
surface is smooth and shiny, pale orange color, gamma-hemolytic, and non-viscous.
Optimum growth can be observed at 35 ºC (range 25-40 ºC), 2% NaCl (range 0-15%
NaCl), and pH 7-8 (range 4-9). Aerobic.
