Aerobic. Gram-stain-positive, non-acid–alcohol-fast actinomycetes that form an intensively branched, non-fragmenting mycelium. The aerial mycelium at maturity carries long chains of spores. Discrete leathery or lichenoid colonies are formed. Produce a range of pigments that are responsible for the color of the substrate and aerial mycelium. Colored diffusible pigments may be formed. Chemo-organotrophic, having an oxidative type of metabolism. Use a wide range of carbon compounds as sole sources of carbon for energy and growth. Most strains grow between pH 3.5 and 6.0 with an optimum around pH 5, and at temperatures between 15 and 30°C. LL-A₂pm is the major diamino acid in the peptidoglycan layer. Contains major amounts of galactose and rhamnose in whole-organism hydrolysates, hexa- and octa-hydrogenated menaquinones with nine isoprene units as predominant isoprenologs, is rich in saturated, iso- and anteiso-fatty acids, and produces complex polar lipid patterns that contain diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. The organism is widely distributed in acidic soil and litter.

DNA G+C content (mol%): 70–72.
