Gram-variable, motile (peritrichous flagella) rods, 0.5-1.2 x 4.5-6.5 μm. Produce
ellipsoidal spores in swollen sporangia.
ellipsoidal spores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are convex, mucoid and opaque; forms motile microcolonies on wet agar
plates. Aerobic and anaerobic growth. Optimum growth temperature 37 ºC. Can grow
at 40 ºC, but not at 50 ºC. Grow at 2% NaCl but not at 5% or 7% NaCl media. Grow at
pH 5-12, optimum pH 7.
Grow optimally in 100% (v/v) olive-mill wastewater at 30 ºC and pH 7.0 and produce
an interesting exopolysaccharide.
