Gram-positive rods of various shapes, 0.4-0.6 / 0.8-2.0 µm, with rounded or tapered
ends, sometimes curved, swollen and branched. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.

Colonies are white, convex, opaque, smooth, 2-3 mm in diameter on modified MRS
agar (glucose replaced with 1 % lactose) supplemented with 0.001 % sodium azide
and 0.001 % cycloheximide and incubated anaerobically at 30 ºC for 5 days; pinpoint
colonies (0.2–0.4 mm in diameter) are formed under aerobic conditions after 2 days
incubation. Growth temperature 15-35 ºC, optimum 25-30 ºC; no growth at 10 or 40
ºC. pH range is 4.5-8.0; optimum pH 6.5-7.0. Facultatively anaerobic.
