Gram-positive rods, 1.2-1.4 x 2.8-3.3 µm. Non-motile. Produce central, elliptical
endospores. Sporangia are not deformed (admin note).
endospores. Sporangia are not deformed (admin note).
Colonies on LB medium are off-white, circular, non-translucent and 2-3 mm in
diameter. Growth occurs at 15-45 ºC (optimum 30 ºC), at pH 5-10 (optimum pH 7-8)
and with 0-9% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1-2%). Facultatively anaerobic.
