Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.6 x 2.1-3.6 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are cream-coloured, 0.5–1.0 mm in diameter, circular, convex, opaque,
with wrinkled margin. Grows at 10-55 ºC (optimum 37 ºC), at pH 7-9 (optimum pH 7.5-
8.0), and in the presence of 2-11% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 5-6% NaCl). Aerobic.
