Gram-positive coccobacilli 0.42-0.50 x 0.65-1.03 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 10-30 ºC, with 0.5-2% (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6.0-8.0, but not at 40 ºC,
pH 5.0, and 3% (w/v) NaCl. Anaerobic; no growth under aerobic conditions.

The main metabolic end product is L-lactic acid.
