Morphology
Cells are rods with parallel sides and rounded ends, typically 1.0 × 1.5-2.0 µm; shorter oval forms, 1.0-1.5 µm in length, may occur. Cells usually occur singly. Gram-negative. Motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Obligately aerobic, having a strictly respiratory type of metabolism. Optimal growth temperature in the range 20-37°C. Colonies on nutrient agar are smooth, low convex, and translucent.
