Gram-positive (Gram-variable in old cultures), nonmotile rods, 1.0-1.3 x 2.5-4.0 µm
centrally / terminally, ellipsoidal endospores in swollen sporangia.
centrally / terminally, ellipsoidal endospores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are circular to slightly irregular, light yellow, smooth , 2-4 mm in diameter
after 3 days at 30 ºC on marine agar. Aerobic. Growth occurs at pH 5 to 7 (optimum
pH 6-7) and at 10-40 ºC (optimum temperature 30 ºC). Grow in nutrient broth with
2-19% NaCl added (optimum 2-5% NaCl). Allantoin and urate are not required for
growth. NaCl is required for growth..
