The best growth is obtained on chocolate agar, but no stimulation of growth with X- and V-factors is observed. Microaerophilic. Optimum temperature for growth, 35-37°C; range usually 30-42°C. Chemoorganotrophic. Acid is not produced from carbohydrates; negative in glucosidase tests. Oxidase, catalase, phosphatase, and phosphoamidase produced. Nitrate and nitrite not reduced. Lysine and ornithine decarboxylases, arginine dihydrolase, gelatinase, lipase, urease, and deoxyribonuclease are not produced. Indole and H2S not produced. Sensitive to penicillins.
