Gram-positive, motile rods, 0.5-1.0 x 4-6 μm. Produce ellipsoidal spores in swollen
sporangia.
sporangia.
Colonies are nonpigmented, translucent and smooth. Can be selectively isolated by
growth in minimal medium with sodium alginate as sole carbon source and a trace of
yeast extract (0.1 g/l).
Aerobic. No anaerobic growth. Growth temperature 5-10 to 35-40 ºC, optimum 30 ºC.
Grow at pH 5.6. Variable growth in 2% NaCl media and negative growth in 5% NaCl.

Positive results for catalase, citrate utilization, hydrolysis of alginate, hydrolysis of carboxymethyl cellulose, hydrolysis of beta-1,2-
glucan, hydrolysis of starch, hydrolysis of Tween 80, urease, acid production from: L-arabinose, D-glucose, D-mannitol and D-xylose.
Negative results for caseinase, indole production, nitrate reduction, oxidase, degradation of tyrosine and Voges-Proskauer test.
