Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and non-motile. Obligately anaerobic. Mesophilic and neutrophilic. Proteolytic. Do not utilize carbohydrates. Soya peptone, tryptone and amino acids are used as carbon and nitrogen sources. The major fermentation products from PY medium are acetate, propionate and iso-butyrate. The cellular fatty acids mainly comprise iso-branched fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 41.0±0.1 mol%.
