Phenotypically very closed to Psychrobacillus insolitus and Psychrobacillus psychrodurans, and separable from these species by
anaerobic growth with KNO3, nitrate reduction and NaCl tolerance.

Gram-positive, non-motile rods, 0.4-1.0 x 2.0-7.0 µm. Sporulation infrequently
observed; terminally endospores in swollen sporangia. Spores are predominantly
spherical in casein-peptone soymeal-peptone agar cultures and predominantly
ellipsoidal in marine agar cultures.

Growth temperature -2 to 40 ºC, 2-5% NaCl (variable) and pH 7. No growth or very
poor growth on nutrient agar or in nutrient broth. Aerobic, no growth anaerobically or in
media containing KNO3. Allantoin or urate are not required for growth.

Isolated from field soil in Germany. No growth in the presence of lysozyme.
Not determined.

Positive for oxidase, catalase, hydrolysis of starch, hydrolysis of Tween 20, 40 and 60.
Negative results for nitrate reduction, degradation of tyrosine, deamination of phenylalanine, hydrolysis of esculin, urease, egg yolk
reaction, indole production, hydrolysis of casein, Voges-Proskauer reaction and citrate utilization.
Variable or weak results for gelatinase, Tween 80 hydrolysis, acid production from: L-arabinose, D-glucose, D-mannitol and D-xylose.
