Morphology and Staining |
|
| Shape | "Minute coccobacillus. Often bipolar and arrnaged singly or in pairs, more rarely in chains." (B74) |
| Staining | "Gram-negative" (B74) |
| Size | "0.2 - 0.5 micrometre
diameter." (B74) "0.5 - 2.0 micrometre length." (B74) |
| Spore formation | -- |
| Motility | Two species are non-motile, one motile by peritrichous flagella. (B74) |
| Growth Temperature | "Optimum temperature 35-37°C" (B47) |
| Metabolism | "Strictly aerobic. Metabolism respiratory, never fermentative." (B74) |
