Gram-negative cells. Non-motile.
Colonies are circular, with an entire edge, buttery consistency, 1-2 mm in diameter
and non-haemolytic after 24 h of incubation at 37 ºC on bovine blood agar. Pigment is
not produced. Synthesize porphyrin without X factor requirement. Most isolates require
NAD (V-factor) for growth, but not the type strain. Cannot grow with KCN. No growth on
MacConkey agar.
