Gram-positive bent rods. Non-motile.
Colonies are creamy white, circular and convex after 24 h incubation at 30 ºC on TYB,
YDC or PYES agar, respectively. Mesophilic, growth occurs at 20-40 ºC (optimum 30
ºC) and pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum pH 7.0).  Growth occurs with 0-4% (w/v) NaCl. Aerobic.
Isolated from a soil sample of Bidar Fort, Karnataka, India.
Sensitive to guanidine hydrochloride, fusidic acid, lithium chloride, tetrazolium blue and vancomycin.
Undetermined.
