paracentrally, ellipsoidal endospores in occasionally slightly swollen sporangia.
Colonies are cream-colored or translucent, raised, with entire margins and smooth,
glossy surfaces, maximum 2 mm in diameter in 3 days at 30 ºC on nutrient agar.
Aerobic. Grow at pH 5-9 and in 2-7% NaCl. Growth temperature 20 to 45 ºC. Allantoin,
urate or NaCl are not required for growth.
