Gram-positive or Gram-variable , small, plump rods, 0.7-0.9 x 2.0-2.5 µm, motile,
central / paracentral or subterminal, ellipsoidal endospores in slightly swollen
sporangia.
central / paracentral or subterminal, ellipsoidal endospores in slightly swollen
sporangia.
Colonies are creamy/off-white with opaque center, smooth, flat, 1 mm in diameter
after 2 days on TSA; the margins are usually irregular with pointed projections that
may spread and become rhizoid in older cultures. Facultatively anaerobic.
Growth at pH 6 - 10.5, and at 30 - 40 ºC. Allantoin, urate or NaCl are not required for
growth.
