Gram-positive coccobacilli 0.42-0.48 x 0.87-1.04 µm. Non-motile.
Colonies on BHI agar plates after 2 days of incubation at 30 ºC under anaerobic
conditions are 1-3 mm in diameter, cream-coloured, circular, entire, smooth and
opaque. Grows at 20-30 ºC, with 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6.0-8.0, but not at 40 ºC
and pH 5.0, grows weakly with 1% (w/v) NaCl. Anaerobic; no growth under aerobic
conditions.
