Gram-positive, typical, pleomorphic coryneform rods, arranged in palisades or
V-shaped forms. Nonmotile. Nonsporing.
V-shaped forms. Nonmotile. Nonsporing.
Colonies are cream, slightly rough, nonhemolytic, 2.0 mm in diameter after 48 h of
incubation at 37 ºC on sheep blood agar. Grows well under anaerobic conditions;
facultatively anaerobic.
CAMP reaction is negative.

Non-partially-acid-fast. Fermentative metabolism.
Apy-Coryne, 48 h, and APY ZYM were used for biochemical characterizaton.
Positive results for catalase, alpha-chymotrypsin, pyrazinamidase, acid production from fructose & glucose.
Negative results for DNA degradation, esculin hydrolysis, gelatine hydrolysis, beta-glucuronidase, lipophilism, nitrate reduction,
oxidase, tyrosine degradation, urease, pyrrolidonylamidase, beta-galactosidase, alpha-glucosidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase,
acid production from: galactose, glycogen, lactose, maltose, mannitol, sucrose, trehalose & xylose.
Variable results for alkaline phosphatase, hippurate hydrolysis, starch hydrolysis, acid production from ribose.
