Acid-fast rods, frequently curved. Non-spore-forming. Filaments not produced.
Colonies are smooth and orange on Middlebrook 7H10 agar at 25 ºC; optimum
growth at 30 ºC and no growth at 37 or 45 ºC. No growth on media containing PNB
500 mg/ml, 5% NaCl, picric acid or on MacConkey agar without crystal violet.
