Gram-positive rods, 0.5-0.9 x 1.7-4.6 µm. Motile by flagella. Produce endospores.
Colonies are 0.5-1.5 mm in diameter, cream, circular and elevated on MA plates
after 2 days incubation. Growth occurs at 25-45 ºC (optimum 37 ºC), pH 6.5-9.0
(optimum 8.0) and NaCl 0-10% (v/v) (optimum 4%). Strictly aerobic.
