It produces white, elevated, adhesive colonies which has size about 1-2 millimeter in diameter subsequent overnight incubation. It does not destroy the red blood cells(RBC’s) on blood agar. It can reproduce by aerobic respiration or can also reproduce by fermentation because it is a catalase positive coagulase negative facultative anaerobe.
