Species description is based on a single strain.
Gram-positive, round-ended rods, 0.6-0.8 x 2-3 µm, occuring singly, in pairs or short
chains. Ellipsoidal endospores are formed subterminally, paracentrally or centrally.
chains. Ellipsoidal endospores are formed subterminally, paracentrally or centrally.
Colonies are creamy white, slightly convex in the centre, smooth, round and 1-3 mm
in diameter; edges are usually irregular with pointed projections that may spread and
become rhizoid in old cultures. Diffusible pigments are not formed. Grows at 4-45 ºC
(optimum 37 ºC), at pH 6-10 (optimum pH 7.0) and with 0-13% (w/v) NaCl. Aerobic.
