Gram-positive rods, 0.5-1.2 x 1.2-1.9 µm. Motile by one polar flagella. Produce
ellipsoidal endospores, terminally located in swollen sporangia.
ellipsoidal endospores, terminally located in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are cream, smooth, slightly raised and circular on Marine Agar. Grows at
15-50 ºC (optimum, 35 ºC), pH 5.5-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.5) and with 0-12% (w/v) NaCl
(optimum, 2-5%). Strictly aerobic.
