Partially acid-fast rods.
Colonies are smooth, moist, shiny, and non-pigmented after incubation for 2-3 days
on Lowenstein-Jensen medium. The temperature range for growth is 30-37 ºC; does
not grow at 22, 42, or 45 ºC. Grows on MacConkey agar (without crystal violet), but not
on agar supplemented with 5% (w/v) NaCl.

Positive results for arylsulfatase (3 days), allantoinase, heatstable catalase (low levels) and Tween 80 hydrolysis.
Can utilize as sole carbon source D-mannitol and i-myo-inositol.
Negative results for iron uptake, nitrate reduction, benzamidase, iso-nicotinamidase, and succinidamidase.
No utilization of citrate as sole carbon source.
