Gram-positive cocci. Nonmotile. Endospores are not formed.
Colonies on TSA, R2A, LB and NA media after 72 h incubation at 30 ºC are yellow,
circular, smooth, 0.5 mm in diameter. Grows in the 5-12 pH range (optimum 8-9).
Tolerates 10% (w/v) NaCl, but grows better without salt. Temperature range for growth
is 15-41 ºC (optimum is 35 ºC). Aerobic.
