Sporosalibacterium Rezgui et al. 2011
General information
Description and emendation
Rod-shaped, motile, Gram-positive bacteria, forming ovoid to spherical and subterminal to terminal spores. Spores appear mainly in old cultures. Exhibit a typical Gram-positive-type cell-wall ultrastructure, unlike the thick, multilayered cell wall of the closest relative Clostridiisalibacter paucivorans. Moderately halophilic and slightly thermotolerant. Strictly anaerobic, chemoorganotrophic. Able to grow on yeast extract, peptone, bio-Trypticase, pyruvate, fumarate, glucose, fructose and mannitol, but unable to grow on Casamino acids. Yeast extract is required for growth. Sulfur, sulfate, thiosulfate, nitrate and nitrite are not necessary for growth. The G+C content of DNA of the type species is 30.7 mol% (HPLC).
1: The genus contains slight- and moderately halophilic species fermenting yeast extract and peptone, mono-, di- and polysaccharides.
