Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells stain Gram-negative (Gram staining reaction) and are non-motile, non-spore-forming, mesophilic rods with a fermentative and obligately anaerobic type of metabolism. No quinones are detected, and the major fatty acids are anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0, anteiso C15:0 DMA and C16:0. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 31.2 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: Spores may be observed or not. Cells are rods, motile or not, and contain the following fatty acids as major components: C16:0, iso-C15:0 and anteiso-C15:0. The DNA G+C content is of 31.2–36.6 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis places the genus within the family Defluviitaleaceae. The type species is Vallitalea guaymasensis.
