Gram-positive, straight rods with rounded ends, 0.6-0.7 x 1.5-2.4 µm. Non-motile at
4, 22, 30 or 37 ºC.
4, 22, 30 or 37 ºC.
Colonies resemble typical Listeria colonies morphology. Optimum growth
temperature is 37-41 ºC. No growth at 7 ºC or below. Hemolysis is not produced.
Aerobic and facultative anaerobic. Grows well on BHI agar.

Some characters were determined using API Listeria (numerical profile 6731) and
API 50 CHB/E kits.
Positive results for catalase, methyl red test, alpha-mannosidase, nitrate reduction
(no nitrite reduction), acid production from: aesculin ferric citrate, N-acetylglucosamine,
amygdalin, arbutin, L-arabinose, cellobiose, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-mannose, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, salicin, D-tagatose &
D-xylose.
Negative results for arylamidase, acid production from: D-arabinose, D-adonitol, D-arabitol, L-fucose, D-galactose, glycogen, methyl
alpha-D-glucoside, glucose 1-phosphate, gluconate, 2- and 5-ketogluconate, inulin, lactose, maltose, D-mannitol, melezitose,
melibiose, methyl alpha-D-mannoside, raffinose, L-sorbose, sucrose, turanose & methyl beta-D-xylopyranoside.
Variable results for Voges-Proskauer test, acid production from: glycerol, inositol & D-lyxose.
