Gram-positive cocci, 1 µm in diameter. Non-motile. Non-sporeforming.
Colonies are yellow-pigmented, glistening, circular and opaque. Growth was
observed at 4-36 ºC (but not above that temperature), at pH 6.5-12.0, with optimum
growth at pH 8.0-9.0, and in 1-10% NaCl. Good growth occurs after 3 days incubation
on tryptone soy agar, R2A agar and nutrient agar at 25-30 ºC.
