Gram-positive, rod-shaped, 0.6-0.9 x 1.2-1.8 µm. Endospores are produced. Motile
by one flagellum.
by one flagellum.
Colonies are pale yellow, circular and smooth. Growth occurs at 10-50 ºC (optimum,
37 ºC), at pH 6.0-9.5 (optimum, pH 8.0) and in 0-10% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2% NaCl).
Facultatively anaerobic.
