Peptococcaceae Rogosa 1971 (Approved Lists 1980)
General information
Description and emendation
Cocci varying in diameter (0.5 to 2.5 μm). Occur singly, in pairs, tetrads, and irregular masses, occasionally in three-dimensional cubic packets. Some organisms may form short or long chains with some elongation of individual elements. Flagella, motility, and endospores are absent. Gram-positive but may stain equivocally. Anaerobic. Chemoorganotrophic with complex nutritional requirements. Gas, consisting of CO2 and usually H2, is produced in cultures from amino acids, or carbohydrates, or both; H2S may also be detectable. Carbohydrates may or may not be fermented. In complex media the major nongaseous products are lower fatty acids; in some cases, succinate or ethanol may also be major products. Lactate, if produced, is generally not a major product.
