Cells are coccoid, 0.9 × 1.1 μm and surrounded by densely studded fimbriae 280 nm in length. They are non-motile, Gram-negative and oxidase-positive. Aerobic to microaerophilic, as shown by improved growth in the atmosphere of a candle jar. Chemoorganotrophic. Good growth at temperatures of 30-37°C. Catalase-positive, urease-negative, nitrate reduced to nitrite. Major fatty acids found are palmitic acid (16:0), vaccenic acid (18:1), lactobacillic acid (19:0 cyclo) and 3-hydroxypalmitic acid (16:0 3-OH).
