Acid-fast rods.
Colonies are smooth, non-chromogenic, growing in 4-6 weeks on Middlebrook 7H10
medium at 22-30 ºC, with optimal growth at 30 ºC. No growth occurs at 37 ºC or
above. No growth on 5% NaCl media or on MacConkey agar without crystal violet.

Positive results for arylsulfatase, thermostable catalase (68 ºC), and tellurite reduction.
Negative results for semi-quantitative catalase (> 45 mm), iron uptake, nitrate reduction, Tween 80 hydrolysis, and urease.
