Gram-positive (easy decolorize) short to long rods, occurring singly and in pairs and
short chains; longer cells may have central to terminal swellings but not spores.
Nonspore-forming.
short chains; longer cells may have central to terminal swellings but not spores.
Nonspore-forming.
Colonies are low convex, with entire margins, translucent with a granular appearance,
1.0 mm in diameter in BHI agar streak tubes, in anaerobic growth; no growth on the
surface of solid media incubated in air enriched to 10% CO2 . Cultures in PYT-glucose
broth are turbid with a smooth, white sediment; good growth in this medium with
esculin, fructose, glucose, salicin or sucrose growth in broth media is enhanced by the
addition of Tween 80. Weak growth in 20% bile. Strictly anaerobic.
