Gram-positive coccoid cells. Non-motile.
Colonies are yellow, circular (1.0-1.5 mm in diameter), convex and opaque with entire
margins. Optimal growth occurs after 2 days of incubation on tryptone soya broth at
37 ºC (range 16-55 ºC). Grows in pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum 7.5), at 0.5-3% NaCl (min.
0.5% w/v) and can tolerate up to 6% NaCl. Strictly aerobic.
