Emendation
Emendation 1
1: Aerobic to facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, asporogenous, non-motile organisms which tend to form short straight to slightly curved rods that occur singly or in pairs or as Y-, V-, or T-forms; filaments and branched rods may be evident; some strains present as cocci or coccoid rods. The peptidoglycan contains either L-lysine or L-ornithine as the diamino acid. Whole-cell hydrolysates contain 6-deoxytalase, fucose, galactose and glucose. MK-10 is the predominant isoprenologue and PC the predominant polar lipid. The G+C content is 57–71%.
