Gram-positive diphtheroid-shaped cells. Nonspore-forming. Nonmotile.
Colonies are convex, circular, lemon-pigmented, 0.5 mm in diameter after 24 h of
incubation at 37 ºC on Columbia Blood agar base supplemented with 5% defibrinated
horse blood in air plus 5% CO2 . Nonhaemolytic. Facultatively anaerobic.

Fermentative metabolism.
Most biochemical characters were tested on API Coryne and API ZYM.
Positive results for acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, catalase, lipase (C14)
(weak), esterase (C4) (weak), ester lipase (C8), and acid production from glucose.
Negative results for esculin hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, lipophilism, nitrate reduction, pyrazinamidase, trypsin & urease, acid
production from: N-acetylglucosamine, lactose, maltose, mannitol, ribose, sucrose & xylose.
