Gram-positive irregular rod-shaped cells. Non-motile. Mycolic acids are present.
Colonies on PY-BHI (peptone-yeast-brain-heart infusion) agar medium are smooth,
opaque, convex, 0.5-1.0 mm in diameter, slightly viscous and cream-coloured after
48 h at 30 ºC. Grows on nutrient agar (NA; Difco), tryptic soy agar (TSA; Bacto),
Columbia agar (BBL) supplemented with 5% horse blood and Corynebacterium
agar (DSM medium no. 53) containing 1% tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.5%
glucose and 0.5% NaCl (pH 7.2). Strictly aerobic. Grows at/in: 10-45 ºC (37 ºC
optimum). Grows in 0-10% NaCl (1 % NaCl optimum). Grows at pH 6.0-9.0 (pH 8.0
optimum).
