formation.
Colonies are scotochromogenic - golden yellow pigmented and visible after
incubation for less than 5 days on inspissated egg media. The temperature range for
growth is 25-37 ºC; does not grow at 45 or 52 ºC. Growth at 42 ºC is usually negative.
No growth on MacConkey agar w/o crystal violet. Can grow on media supplemented
with 5% NaCl.

Isolated from soil. Susceptible to hydroxylamine (500 μg/ml). Resistant to ethambutol (5 μg/ml), thiophene-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide
(1 μg/ml), isoniazid (1 μg/ml) and rifampicin (25 μg/ml).
