Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.6 x 1.8-2.0 µm. Motile by subpolar flagella. Produce central /
paracentral endospores only slightly deforming the cells.
paracentral endospores only slightly deforming the cells.
Colonies are cream-white circular, non-translucent and 2-3 mm in diameter after
incubation at 32 ºC for 48 h on LB medium. Growth occurs at 8-45 ºC (optimum 30-37
ºC), at pH 5-11 (optimum pH 6-9) and with 0-12 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1-3 %). Strictly
aerobic.
