Species description is based on a single isolate.
Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.9 x 1.5-3.6 µm, occuring singly or in pairs. Motile by
peritrichous flagella. Produce ellipsoidal endospores are formed in terminal position,
swelling the sporangia.

Colonies are convex, cream-coloured, 1 mm in diameter, entire margins and a glossy
surface after 24h incubation on nutrient agar at 45 ºC. Growth occurs at 20-50 ºC
(optimally at 45 ºC), at pH 5.5-8.5 (optimally at pH 7.5) and at 5-10% (w/v) NaCl.
Aerobic, no growth in anaerobic conditions.
