Firmicutes / “Bacilli” / Bacillales / “Paenibacillaceae” / Cohnella

Spore-forming rods. Nonmotile. Gram-positive. Aerobic. Oxidase-positive. Good growth after 24 h on complex media such as trypticase soy agar and nutrient agar at 25–30°C. Thermotolerant; good growth occurs at 55°C. The major menaquinone is MK-7. The predominant polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyle-thanolamine, and lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol. In addition, two unknown phospholipids, and four unknown amino-phospholipids are present. The main fatty acids are C_{16:0 iso}, C_{15:0 anteiso}, and C_16:0. Fatty acids in minor amounts are C_14:0, C_15:0, C_{17:0 iso}, C_{17:1 iso}, and C_{17:0 anteiso}.

DNA G+C content (mol%): 57–59.
