Gram-positive, nonmotile cocci, grouped in long chains.
Regular, under 0.5 mm in diameter, non-pigmented, translucent colonies. On blood
agar colonies are surrounded by zones of alpha-hemolysis. Growth at 37 ºC. Aerobic,
facultatively anaerobic. Growth is enhanced by incubation in a 5% CO2-supplemented
atmosphere. Grow on: Trypticase soy agar with 5% sheep blood, Brain heart infusion
agar or broth. No growth in the presence of 6.5% NaCl, on bile–esculin agar or on
Slanetz–Bartley agar.
