Paraeggerthella Würdemann et al. 2009
General information
Description and emendation
Characteristics of the genus are as described previously for [Eggerthella] hongkongensis. In addition, cellular fatty acids consist of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids (45:51 in the type strain of the type species) (predominantly C16 and C18) and include 12:0, 14:0, 14:0 DMA, 14:1 ω5c, 15:0 anteiso, 16:0, 16:0 DMA, 16:1 ω7c, 16:1 ω7c DMA, 18:0, 18:0 DMA, 18:1 ω7c DMA, 18:1 ω9c DMA, 18:1 ω9c and 18:2 ω6,9c; the major component is 18:1 ω9c. The major respiratory lipoquinone present is menaquinone MK-6; MMK-6 is a minor component. Polar lipids consist of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and three glycolipids (GL1, GL2 and GL4). Oxidation/fermentation of arabinose, glucose, mannose, raffinose, trehalose and xylose is not observed. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 61.1-61.8 mol%.
