broth, 0.3-0.7 x 1.1-1.9 µm, occurring singly and in pairs on agar media and in rather
long chains in broth media. Nonmotile. Non-spore-forming.

Colonies are circular, convex, smooth, cream-white, and 1.0-1.5 mm in diameter after
48 h anaerobic incubation at 20 ºC on MRS agar.
Facultatively anaerobic. Psychrophilic; optimum growth temperature 15-25 ºC. Can
grow at 0-25 ºC; no growth at 30 ºC or higher.

Isolated from vacuum-packaged refrigerated beef, stored at low temperature (20 ºC). Does not resist 10 minutes at 70 ºC.
Undetermined.

Facultatively heterofermentative (hexoses are fermented almost exclusively to lactic
acid by the Embden-Meyerhof pathway or, at least by some species, to lactic acid,
acetic acid, ethanol & formic acid under glucose limitations; pentoses are fermented to lactic acid and acetic acid via an inducible
phosphoketolase).
Positive results for aesculin hydrolysis, fermentation of: esculin, fructose, galactose, glucose (without gas production), mannose,
ribose, salicin & trehalose.
Negative results for arginine hydrolysis, catalase, gelatin hydrolysis, H2S production, nitrate reduction, oxidase, reaction in litmus
milk, Voges-Proskauer, fermentation of: adonitol, dulcitol, erythritol, gluconate, glycerol, glycogen, inositol, inulin, mannitol,
melezitose, rhamnose, sorbitol, sorbose, starch & L-xylose.
Variable results for fermentation of: arabinose, amygdalin, cellobiose, lactose, maltose, melibiose, raffinose & sucrose.
