Original Description
expand / minimize
Facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, asporogenous, catalase-positive organisms that are predominantly diphtheroid though coccobacilli may occur, rods are mainly arranged in clusters or as V or Y forms. Colonies are circular, smooth, convex, more white than cream colored with entire edges and 0.5 to 1.5 mm in diameter following incubation for 48 h. Straight-chain fatty acids are mainly palmitic and stearic acids. The genomic G+C content is around 55–58%.
