Gram-positive, short rods, 0.4-0.55 x 0.8-1.4 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Non-encapsulated.
Non-encapsulated.
Colonies on LB agar medium supplemented with 5% NaCl are smooth, circular and
1-1.2 mm in diameter after growth at 37 ºC for 72 h. The surface of the colonies is
moist and shiny, and the colonies become yellow with extended storage. Optimal
growth occurs at 35–37 ºC and pH 9, at 2.5% NaCl. Strictly aerobic.
