Gram-positive rods, 0.7-0.8 x 2-2.2 µm. Motile by subpolar flagella. Endospores were
not observed.
not observed.
Colonies are light yellow, circular, translucent and 2-3 mm in diameter after incubation
at 32 ºC for 48 h on LB medium. Growth occurs at 8-45 ºC (optimum 30-37 ºC), at pH
5-11 (optimum pH 6-8) and with 0-12 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1-3 %). Strictly aerobic.
