Gram-positive, motile rods, 0.4–0.6 x 2–5 μm. Produce subterminal, ellipsoidal spore
in swollen sporangium.
Colonies are convex, irregular, undulate, slightly yellowish, non-glossy, 0.5-1.0 mm in
diam. after 1 day on R2A medium. No growth occurs on TSA, MacConkey or nutrient
agar. Aerobic and anaerobic growth. Growth temperature 15-20 to 42-45 ºC, optimum
37 ºC. Grow in 2 and 5% NaCl, but not in 7% NaCl. Grow at pH 4.5-5 to 8.5-9;
optimum 6.5.
Isolated from soil of a ginseng field of Pocheon Province, South Korea.
