Original Description
expand / minimize
Form endospore-like structures and show Gram-type positive, rod-shaped cells and are moderately anaerobic, thermophilic and chemoorganotrophic. Organisms can be motile or non-motile. Nitrate serves as an electron acceptor. The DNA G+C content is 67-69 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone is MK-6. The major cellular fatty acids are iso-C17:0, iso-C15:0 and C16:0. The predominant polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and unknown phospholipids containing a 1,2-glycol group. The family belongs to the order Clostridiales within the class Clostridia of the phylum Firmicutes.
