Gram-positive cells, 0.6-0.7 x 1.5-3.0 µm, generally and characteristically forming V
(angular) or palisade arrangements similar to corynebacteria. Branching is absent
and cells are rarely enlarged at the extremities; this morphological type is unique
among bifidobacteria. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.

Colonies are pulvinate, smooth, entire margins, porcelain white, glistening, soft
consistency. Anaerobic. Growth temperature 28-42 ºC, optimum 39-40 ºC. Grows at
pH 6.3-7.2, optimum pH 6.5-6.9; nogrowth at pH 8.0.
