Description is based upon a single isolate.
Gram-positive, 0.4–0.5 x 1.5–3.0 μm rods, motile by a single polar flagellum. Produce
ellipsoidal spores, positioned centrally / subterminally in swollen sporangia.
ellipsoidal spores, positioned centrally / subterminally in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are ivory, sticky, glistening, smooth, raised, circular to slightly irregular, 2-4
mm in diameter after 5 days at 30 ºC on 2-fold diluted nutrient agar (pH 7.5).
Aerobic. No anaerobic growth. Growth temperature 10 to 37 ºC, optimum 30 ºC. Grow
at 7.0-9.5 pH (optimum 7.5) but not at 6.5 or 10. Negative growth in 5% and 7% NaCl.
