Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Rod-shaped bacterium that stains Gram-negative. Thermophilic, adapted to the pH and salinity of ocean waters. Anaerobic, chemoorganotrophic, able to ferment carbohydrates and proteinaceous substrates. Sulfur is not necessary for growth. The G+C content is 27 mol%. 16S rDNA sequence comparisons locate Caloranaerobacter in the lineage of the low-G+C-content Gram-positive bacteria, within cluster XII of the Clostridium subphylum.
