Gram-variable, motile rods (peritrichous flagella), 0.8-2.0 x 4.0-6.0 µm, which form
filamentous trichomes by cellular binding. Centrally, ellipsoidal endospores in
unswollen sporangia; on prolonged incubation heat-resistant, spore-like resting
cells, which outgrow by budding, are formed.

Colonies are opaque , off-white to colorless. Aerobic. No growth in 5% NaCl.
Grow at pH 5 - 9 (optimum 7 - 8). Growth temperature 20 to 40 ºC (optimum 30 ºC).
Allantoin, urate or NaCl are not required for growth.

Positive results for hydrolysis of esculin, hydrolysis of urea, catalase, hydrolysis of
starch, Voges-Proskauer reaction, nitrate reduction & acid production from glucose.
Negative results for hydrolysis of gelatin, oxidase, indole, hydrolysis of casein, citrate utilization, hydrolysis of Tween 80, acid
production from D-arabinose & L-xylose.
