Acid-fast rods. Non-motile. Spores, cords or filaments are not produced.
Colonies are creamy white, rough and non-pigmented. Grows to maturity in 3 days at
30 ºC and in 4 days at 25 ºC and 37 ºC on Middelbrook 7H11 and TSA media. No
growth at 42 ºC. The optimal temperature for growth is 30 ºC. Grows in the presence
of 10% CO2.
