Nomenclatural status: not validly published.
Gram-positive irregular rods, 0,5/1.5-2.5 µm, occurring singly, with occasional
bifurcations and spatulated ends. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are convex, cream-coloured, 1 mm in diameter after 48 h of anaerobic
incubation at 39 ºC on TPY agar and less than 1 mm under aerobic conditions.
Optimum growth temperature 39 ºC; range 5-45 ºC; variable at 4 ºC within 14 days.
Grows at pH 4.7-8.0. Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from raw milks and raw milk cheeses, France; the origin of the raw milk contamination was not known.
Undetermined.
