Morphology
Cells are spore-forming, rods (0.4-0.6 × 1-10 µm), and motile by multiple flagella. Cells are approximately wide, occurring singly or in pairs. Spores are terminal without swollen sporangia, 0.5-0.7 µm in diameter. Colonies are circular and yellow and about 1-2 mm in diameter after 7 days of incubation at 37°C.
