These Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacteria grow at optimal temperatures of about 30 °C, but some subspecies are also psychrotolerant, being able to grow at a minimum temperature of 2 °C, as the microorganisms belonging to the subspecies A. carbinolicum kysingense, which have been isolated from fine sand and mud sedimented in a brackish fjord in Jutland, Denmark, where concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water are up to 4.3%.^[3]
