Gram-negative, curved cells 0.3 x 1-2.5 μm. Nonsporeforming. Motile by polar flagella.
Colonies in deep agar are white, round, and filamentous when grown on S. Colonies
are lens-shaped and yellowish-brown when grown with oxygen or fumarate.
Temperature range is 8-30 ºC with optimal growth at 26 ºC. Grows with 0.6-4% NaCl
and at least 0.1% MgCl2 * 6H2O is required. The pH range is 6.1 to 8.2; optimum, 7.0
to 7.4. Can grow with 1% glycerol.
Microaerobic growth occurs with up to 15% oxygen when agitated.
Formate, acetate, proprionate, succinate, alanine, fumarate, alpha-ketoglutarate,
lactate, citrate, malate, and yeast extract are oxidized with oxygen.
