isolated from the feces of mice fed cow's milk or a lactose-rich diet for a period of more than 3 weeks.
Morphology
Cells are non-motile, spore-forming, coccobacillary to rod-shaped (0.6-1.0 × 0.6-1.5 µm), and occur singly, in pairs, and in short chains. Spores are round, central to subterminal, and slightly swell the cell. Sporulation occurs most readily on chopped-meat agar slants or on modified Eggerth-Gagnon agar plates after incubation at 37∘C for 2-5 d. Surface colonies on blood agar plates are punctiform, 1 mm in diameter, circular, slightly irregular, slightly undulate, convex, gray-white, shiny, smooth, and nonhemolytic. On modified Eggerth-Gagnon agar plates, colonies are 1.5-2.5 mm in diameter, circular, convex, entire, translucent, yellowish gray, smooth, shiny, and nonhemolytic. Cultures in PYG broth are turbid with a smooth sediment and have a pH of 4.4 after incubation for 24 h.
