Gram-positive spherical cells, 0.8-1.1 µm in diameter, occurring singly, in pairs, short
chains and irregular clusters. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are raised to slightly convex, smooth, opaque, unpigmented to
grayish-white, glistening and 0.5-2.0 mm in diameter on MRS agar after 48 h at 28 ºC;
good growth in MRS broth between 16 and 24 hours. Optimum growth temperature
32 ºC. Can grow at 8-43 ºC. Grows in 0-5.5% NaCl. No growth in 6.5% NaCl medium.
PH range 4.7-8.3, no growth at pH 4.5. Facultative anaerobe.
Isolated from beer, beer bottles, silage and spent grains.
Undetermined.

Positive results for esculin hydrolysis, starch hydrolysis, fermentation of amygdalin, cellobiose, dextrin, fructose, galactose, gluconate
(with gas production), glucose (without gas production), maltose, mannose, salicin, and starch. Produces L(+)-lactic acid from
glucose via a fructose-1,6-diphosphate FDP inducible L-lactate dehydrogenase.
Negative results for ammonia production from arginine, catalase, gelatin hydrolysis, hippurate hydrolysis, nitrate reduction, urease,
fermentation of adonitol, arabinose, dulcitol, erythritol, glycerol, inositol, mannitol, melezitose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose,
sorbitol, sorbose, xylitol, and xylose.
Variable results for Voges-Proskauer test, fermentation of inulin, lactose, sucrose, trehalose, and alpha-methyl-D-glucoside.
