Gordonibacter Wurdemann et al. 2009
General information
Description and emendation
Gram-positive, motile, non-spore-forming coccobacilli (0.5-0.6 × 0.8-1.2 μm). Obligately anaerobic. Cellular fatty acids consist mainly (~90%) of saturated fatty acids (predominantly C14 and C15) and include 12:0, 13:0 iso, 13:0 iso 3-OH, 14:0, 14:0 iso, 14:0 DMA, 15:0 iso DMA, 15:0 iso, 15:0 anteiso, 16:0, 16:0 iso, 16:0 DMA, 16:1 ω7c, 16:1 ω7c DMA, unknown ECL 16.107, 17:0, 17:0 anteiso DMA, 18:0, 18:0 DMA, 18:1 ω9c DMA and 18:1 ω9c; the major component is 15:0 anteiso. The major respiratory lipoquinone present is menaquinone MK-6; MMK-6 is a minor component. Major polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and four glycolipids (GL1-GL4). Oxidation/fermentation of arabinose, glucose, mannose, raffinose, trehalose and xylose is not observed. Nitrate is not reduced. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the single known strain is 66.4 mol%.
