present. Tuberculostearic acid is present.
Colonies on sheep blood Columbia agar are dry, creamy and 0.1-0.3 mm in diameter
after 48 h incubation at 37 ºC; larger creamy colonies were observed on Brain-heart
infusion agar and on Trypticase soy agar supplemented with 1 % Tween 80.
Non-haemolytic. Facultatively anaerobic.
