Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.8 x 3-5 μm. Motile by peritrichous flagella. Produce terminal /
subterminal, ellipsoidal spores in swollen sporangia.
subterminal, ellipsoidal spores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are brownish-yellow, smooth, flat. Grow on nutrient agar and TSA. Strictly
aerobic. Grow in 2% NaCl, but not in 5% NaCl media. Growth temperature 10-50 ºC,
optimum 37 ºC. Can grow at pH 4.5-9.0, optimum 7.
