Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are rod shaped and stain gram negative but are gram positive in wall structure. Endospores are produced; the endospores are spherical and subterminal to terminal and do not swell the sporangia. Obligately anaerobic. Glucose and some other sugars are fermented. The fermentation products from glucose are acetate, isobutyrate, isovalerate, valerate, lactate, and ethanol. Xylan is degraded. Cellulose is not degraded. Thermophilic (temperature range, approximately 37 to 80°C. Unable to grow autotrophically or to produce sulfur from thiosulfate. The G+C content of the DNA is 37 mol%.
Emendation

1: Vanadium(V), Fe(III), Mn(IV) and elemental sulfur may or may not be reduced.
