Gram-positive rods, 0.5-1 / 1.5-3 µm, occurring singly or in pairs. Non-spore-forming.
Non-motile.
Colonies are beige, convex, smooth with entire margins, 0.5-1 mm in diameter after 2
days at 30 ºC on mMRS agar. Facultative anaerobe. Grows at temperature range
10-37 ºC (optimally at 30 ºC, variable at 37 ºC). Can grow at pH 5.0-10.0. No growth in
5% NaCl media.
