Morphology
Cells are non-motile, straight rods (0.3-1.0 × 0.6-6.0 µm), arranged singly, in pairs or short chains; often surrounded by a capsule. Grow on meat extract media, producing more or less dome-shaped, glistening colonies of varying degrees of stickiness depending on the strain and the composition of the medium.
