Gram-positive cocci, 1.5 µm in diameter. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on solid medium are orange, smooth, circular and approximately 1 mm in
diameter at 25 °C after 48 h. The surface of the colonies is shiny and glistening.
Growth occurs at 4-30 °C (optimum 25 °C), pH 6.5-10 (optimum pH 9), and with
0.003-20 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2% NaCl).
