Adlercreutzia Maruo et al. 2008
General information
Description and emendation
Cells are Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile coccobacilli, 0.6-0.7 × 1.5-2.7 μm. Colonies on BL agar plates are 1-2 mm in diameter, grey to off-white-grey, circular, entire, slightly convex and smooth. Asaccharolytic. No metabolic end product is detected in peptone-yeast extract medium supplemented with glucose. Arginine dihydrolase and arginine and leucine arylamidases are present. Growth is stimulated by arginine. The cell wall contains A1γ-type peptidoglycan with an (L-Ala)-D-Glu-m-Dpm peptide subunit. The principal respiratory quinone is menaquinone DMMK-6. Major cellular fatty acid is C18:1 cis9. The DNA G+C content is 64-67 mol%.
1: Whole-cell hydrolysates contain DL-or LL-A2pm as the diamino acid and galactose with either ribose or glucose. The predominant isoprenologues are methylmenaquinone-6 and demethylmenaquinone-6. Major fatty acids are either C16:0, iso-C15:0 or C16:0, iso-C17:0 and C18:1 ω9c. The G+C content is about 60–70%.
