Description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive, motile rods, 0.5-1.0 x 1.5-4.5 µm. Produce subterminal, ellipsoidal
spores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are pale yellow, circular to slightly irregular, 0.5 mm in diameter after two
days at 30 ºC in nutrient broth. Aerobic, facultatively anaerobic. Grow in 5% NaCl.
Growth temperature 10-40 ºC, optimum 30 ºC. Range of pH: 5.0-10.4.
Isolated from soil from a rice field in the Ebro River delta,Spain. Resistant to 0.001% lysozyme.
Undetermined.
