Gram-positive rods, 0.3 x 3-5 µm, occuring singly or in pairs, seldom in chains.
Nonspore-forming. Nonmotile.
Nonspore-forming. Nonmotile.
On modified MRS agar, the colonies were 1 mm in diameter, whitish with regular
sharp edges, transparent, after 3 days incubation. Facultatively anaerobic. Optimum
growth temperature is 25-30 ºC. No growth at 15 ºC. Can grow at 45 ºC.

Obligately heterofermentative (hexoses are fermented to lactic acid, acetic acid
(ethanol), and CO2 via the phosphogluconate pathway; pentoses are fermented
to lactic acid and acetic acid by the related pentose phosphate pathaway).
Positive results for arginine hydrolysis (NH3 from arginine), esculin hydrolysis, fermentation of: amygdalin, arbutin, cellobiose,
esculin, fructose, galactose, glucose, gluconate, lactose, maltose, mannitol, mannose, melibiose, N-acetylglucosamine, raffinose,
ribose, salicin, sorbitol, sucrose, and trehalose.
Negative results for catalase, fermentation of erythritol, and xylose.
Variable fermentation of arabinose, melezitose, and rhamnose.
