Gram-positive cells, 1.0-1.5 x 2.5-4.0 µm, showing a rod-coccus growth cycle.
Non-spore-forming. Non-motile.
Non-spore-forming. Non-motile.
Colonies are cream to yellow in colour. Grows at 4-37 ºC in mineral salts medium
with a suitable carbon source; optimum growth occurs between 30 and 37 ºC. pH
range for growth is 6.5-8.5; optimum pH 7.0-7.5. No additional growth factors are
required. Aerobic. Can grow in the presence of nicotine.

Positive results for amylase, catalase and nitrate reduction to nitrite.
Utilizes phenanthrene and anthracene as sole carbon sources.
Negative results for arginine dihydrolase, citrate utilization, gelatinase, H2S production, lipase, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine
decarboxylase, oxidase, urease, acid production from glucose, lactose or sucrose.
