Gram-positive rods, 0.63-0.71 x 1.90-3.94 µm. Non-motile. Produce central or
subterminal ellipsoidal endospores in swollen sporangia.
subterminal ellipsoidal endospores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies formed on R2A agar are creamy white, mucoid, translucent and raised, 3–4
mm in diameter after 2 days of incubation at 37 ºC. Can grow on nutrient agar, LB
agar, R2A agar and TSA, but not on MacConkey agar. Grows at 15-60 ºC (optimum 37
ºC), at pH 6-11 (optimum pH 7.0) and in 0-10% (w/v) NaCl. Facultatively anaerobic.

Isolated from cheonggukjang, a Korean fermented soybean food product.
Produces bacitracin, fengycin and a lantipeptide. Does not produce lichenicidin.
