Gram-positive, motile (peritrichous flagella) rods, 0.8 x 2.8-4.0 µm. Produce ellipsoidal
spores in swollen sporangia.
spores in swollen sporangia.
Colonies are mucoid, white and translucent. Grow aerobically but not anaerobically.
Optimum growth temperature 30-37 ºC. No growth at 10 or 55 ºC. Can grow in 2%, but
not in 5% NaCl.

The type strain was isolated from estuarine sediments and rhizosphere of salt marsh plants (Distichlis spicata, Juncus gerardi,
Spartina alterniflora and Sporobolus airoides).
