Gram-positive rods, 0.5 x 3-4 µm, occuring singly or in pairs and in short chains.
Nonmotile.
Nonmotile.
Colonies on MRS agar are white, smooth, 2 mm in diameter after 2 days under
anaerobic conditions; growth is inhibited under aerobic conditions. Facultatively
anaerobic. Weak growth at 15 and 37 ºC, optimum growth at 20-30 ºC. Variable
growth at 45 ºC. Can grow in NaCl 1%, but not in 1.5%.
