by gliding.
Colonies on Luria Bertani agar are pale, convex, circular and opaque with entire
edges and 0.5-1.0 mm in diameter after incubation for 48 h at 30 ºC. Growth occurs at
20-42 ºC, but not at 15 or 45 ºC. The optimal growth temperature is 30=37 ºC. The pH
range for growth is pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum pH 7.0). Can grow in 0-2% NaCl LB (not in
3% NaCl). Aerobe.
