Aerobic, do not grow anaerobically.
Growth temperature from 30-45 ºC to 65-75 ºC.
Do not grow at pH 5.5-8.5 or in 7 percent NaCl.

Spores occur in soil.
Vegetative growth is rapid in many foods of pH above 5.0 if held at an appropriate elevated temperature.
Spores are destroyed in 15-18 min. at 121 ºC wet heat and in 20 min. at 180 ºC dry heat.
