1.3-5.2 / 0.5-0.8 µm
Vegetative cells are Gram-negative, but sporangia and presporal forms are Gram-positive; some strains are motile with
peritrichous flagella
Spores: ellipsoidal, central to terminal, swelling the sporangia.

Maximum temperature, 35'C; minimum temperature, 20'C
Growth in anaerobic agar
No growth on serial transfer in nutrient broth or in 5% NaCl
Thiamine is essential for growth; biotin, myoinositol and niacin are stimulatory
No growth at 5.7 pH

It causes the more widespread of two milky diseases of the Japanise beetle (Popillia japonica Newman); the larvae become milky
white because of the prolific production of spores by the bacilli in the hemolymph .
It's a weapon for the control and elimination of the Japanise beetle and the European chafer (Amphimallon majolis Razoumowsky).
