Gram-positive rods, 0.6-0.9 / 1.5-2.4 µm; pairs, chains, V-form arrangement. Mycolic
acids are absent. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
acids are absent. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies are convex, translucent, smooth, with entire margins; in the dark colonies
are white and in the light are bright yellow. Grows well in/on TSB, TSA, nutrient agar,
yeast extract-malt agar (ISP 2 medium), with and without 60% seawater. Grows at
10-30 ºC (30 ºC optimum), but not at 4 or 37 ºC. Grows at 5.1-12.1 pH and in 0-10%
NaCl medium.
