Gram negative bacilli, 0.5-0.6 x 1.0 μm. Motile by peritrichous flagella,
Colonies on peptone-yeast extract agar are circular, smooth, and entire to slightly
erose. These organisms grow well at 25, 30, and 37 ºC, but not at 5 or 41 ºC, and they
are somewhat more active metabolically at 25 or 30°C than at 37°C. Produce a
water-soluble pink pigment. Chemoorganotrophic. Grow well on nutrient agar and
tryptic soy, peptone-yeast extract, and other common laboratory media. Facultatively
anaerobic.
