Cells are motile rods that does not form spores. The temperature range for growth is between 55-80 degrees Celsius, with an optimum at 70 degrees Celsius. The NaCl concentration range for growth is between 10-35 g/l, with an optimum at 25 g/l. The pH range for growth is between 6.0-6.7, with an optimum at approximately pH 6.25. H2 and CO2 are the only electron donor and carbon sources found to support growth. However, several organic compounds are stimulatory for growth. Sulfate is used as electron acceptor, whereas elemental sulfur, thiosulfate, sulfite, cystine, nitrate and fumarate are not. No fermentative growth is observed with malate, pyruvate or lactate. Unable to use sulfur, cystine, thiosulfate, sulfite, fumarate and nitrate as electron acceptor. Ammonium is the preferred nitrogen source. Sensitive to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and rifampicin (25 mg ml21). Resistant to tetracycline and streptomycin (100 mg ml21), penicillin and kanamycin (200 mg ml21).
