Gram-negative rods with rounded ends to coccoid 1.0-4.4 µm in diameter,
occasionally forming filaments up to 8 µm long. Occurs singly, in pairs or in chains.
Motile, usually by one polar flagellum.

Facultatively anaerobic. Grows on a mineral medium with ammonia as the sole
source of nitrogen and one of the following as the sole source of carbon: D-glucose,
arginine, asparagine, or histidine. No brown water-soluble pigment is produced.
Hemolysis on sheep blood agar is variable (4 of 9 strains). Mesophilic, 0-5 to 37 ºC,
optimum growth temperature 30 ºC. No growth at 40 ºC. Incubation at 20 ºC is best for
some tests. Can grow in nutrient broth with: 0 and 3% NaCl, but not in the presence of
6, 8, or 10% NaCl. Can grow in pH 5.5-9.0 media.
