Gram-positive, short rods, 0.4-0.6 x 0.8-1.2 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on solid Luria Bertani medium are white, smooth, circular, 0.9-1.2 mm in
diameter after 48 h incubation at 42 ºC. The surface of the colonies is moist and
glistening. Growth occurs at 20–50 ºC (optimum 42 ºC), pH 8-12 (optimum pH 9-10),
and with 0-6% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 3% NaCl).
