Gram-positive rods with rounded ends (0.7–0.9 x 5–20 μm) occurring singly,
in pairs, and in short chains. Nonmotile.
in pairs, and in short chains. Nonmotile.
Colonies on MRS are flat, rough, dull surface, beige to dirtywhite color;
diameter 2–3 mm. Growth in agar stabs occurs throughout the stab but not
up to the surface.
Optimum growth temperature 45-48 ºC. Can grow at 52 ºC; not at 20 ºC.
Optimum pH 5.0-5.5; no growth at pH 3.5 or 6.0.

Obligately homofermentative (hexoses are fermented almost exclusively to lactic acid by the Embden-Meyerhof pathway; pentoses or
gluconate are not fermented).
Positive results for fermentation of: galactose, maltose, mannose and sucrose.
Negative results for arginine hydrolysis, urease, fermentation of: cellobiose, lactose, mannitol and trehalose.
Variable results for esculin hydrolysis, fermentation of: amygdalin, melibiose and raffinose.
