Gram negative, non-sporulating, non-capsulated, non-motile, straight rods with
rounded ends (0.5–0.6 x 1.0–2.5 μm that occur singly, in pairs or in short chains,
rounded ends (0.5–0.6 x 1.0–2.5 μm that occur singly, in pairs or in short chains,
Aerobic. Optimum temperature for growth is 28 ºC. No growth occurs at 4 or 37 ºC.
Growth is poor (colonies of <1 mm after 7 days) or absent on many common media.
Good growth (colonies up to 5 mm after 7–12 days) occurs on iron salts-containing
media: buffered charcoal yeast extract agar, Periwinkle wilt medium and iron-
supplemented casamino acids medium. Grow at pH 6.0–7.5. Do not grow in the
presence of 1% NaCl; variable growth in 0.5% NaCl.
