It is an aerobic bacteria. It can survive and grow in an oxygenated environment. It forms spores. It is mesolphilic in nature. It grows best in moderate temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. It is an actinobacterium.
It was isolated from a sample of limestone quarry in Hungpung region of Kangleipak (Manipur).
