• All species grow in the presence of 5% NaCl. • Ferments glucose.
METABOLIC PROPERTIES Strictly aerobic. Acid without gas is produced from glucose. Acid production from other carbohydrates varies with species. HABITAT The primary natural habitat is mammalian and human skin. Secondary habitats for Micrococcus spp.
Include meat, dairy products, soil and water, and sand. PATHOGENICITY Until recently, very little was known about the pathogenicity of micrococci.
