Gram-positive cocci, 0.6-0.8 μm in diameter, occuring singly, in pairs, tetrads or
clumps. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
clumps. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are smooth, circular, of low convexity and orange in colour. Strictly aerobic.
Moderately halophilic; growth occurs in media containing 1.5-25% NaCl; optimum
10% NaCl. Grows in pH 6.0-9.0; optimum pH 8.5. Growth temperature range 15-45
ºC, optimum 37 ºC.
