Acid-alcohol-fast, short rods, with frequent coccid forms. No cording, spores or
filaments are present.
filaments are present.
Colonies are small, smooth, scotochromogenic and yellow. On Middlebrook 7H10,
Ogawa and Stonebrink media, mature growth develops after 28 days of
incubation at 25-36 ºC; no growth occurs at 45 ºC. No growth on MacConkey agar
without crystal violet.

Isolated from human lymph node and pulmonary samples in the Netherlands, skin lesions in Japan, from a surface water sample in
Zambia, and from aquarium decoration (palm debris).
