Gram-negative coccobacilli, 0.7-0.8 x 0.9-1.0 μm. Non-spore-forming. Non-motile.
Colonies are smooth, convex, entire, opaque, glistening and pale yellow, 2-3 mm in
diameter on nutrient agar after 48 h of incubation at 30 ºC. No growth factor is required.
Can grow at pH 5.0-10.0 (optimum 7.0-8.0). Strictly aerobic. Growth temperature 10-40
ºC (optimum 25-30 ºC). Can grow on MacConkey agar and Simmons' citrate agar.
Water-soluble brown pigment on heart infusion agar containing tyrosine is not
produced.
