Gram-positive, motile rods, 0.5–1.0 x 3.0–5.0 μm. Produce ellipsoidal spores in
swollen sporangium.
swollen sporangium.
Colonies are nonpigmented, translucent, smooth, 1-2 mm in diameter after 3 days at
28 ºC. Grow aerobically, but not anaerobically. Grow in 2% NaCl, rarely at 3% NaCl.
mesophilic, grow from 5-10 ºC to 35-40 ºC, optimum temperature 28-30 ºC. Can
grow at pH 5.7. Isolated in medium enriched with alginate.

beta-1,2-glucan, arginine dihydrolase, lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, indole production, H2S production,
Voges-Proskauer test and acid production from sorbitol.
