Gram-positive rods, 0.6-1.2 / 0.8-2.4 µm. Non-spore-forming. Non-motile.
Colonies are whitish, opaque, raised, with a diameter of 0.8-1.5 mm after 48 h of
anaerobe incubation at 37 ºC on MRS agar; 0.5-1.0 mm in aerobic condition. No
growth at 15 ºC. Grows at 30 and 45 ºC. Grows at pH 4.0-8.0. Facultative anaerobe.
Isolated from the stomach of a hamster, USA.
Undetermined.
