Gram-positive rods, 0.3-0.5 x 3.0-3.5 µm. Motile. Produce ellipsoidal to cylindrical,
terminal endospores.

Colonies are usually yellow, smooth, and circular. Growth occurs in enrichment
medium A (peptone Oxoid 0.8%, yeast extract Oxoid 0.4% and NaCl 0.2%). Grows at
55-67 ºC, (optimal growth at 65 ºC), at pH 6.0-7.5 (optimum pH 7.2). No growth in 3%

Positive results for catalase, alpha- and beta-glucosidase, hippurate hydrolysis and tyrosine decomposition.
Can utilize as sole carbon source: maltose, trehalose and sodium acetate.
Negative results for caseinase, gelatinase, indole production, nitrate reduction, oxidase, phenylalanine deaminase, starch hydrolysis
and Tween 60 hydrolysis.
