Gram-positive, motile rods, 0.5-1.0/3.0-6.0 µm, occurring singly and in pairs and
chains. Produce subterminal, ellipsoidal spores in swollen sporangium.
chains. Produce subterminal, ellipsoidal spores in swollen sporangium.
Colonies are thin, smooth, translucent, circular to irregular, 1-2 mm in diameter after
2-3 days on nutrient agar at 30 ºC. Aerobic and anaerobic growth. Can grow at 5-10 to
35-45 ºC, optimally at 28-30 ºC. Grow in 2% NaCl media, but not in 5 or 7% NaCl.
