Andreesenia Poehlein et al. 2017
General information
Description and emendation
Strictly anaerobic obligately purinolytic, Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming straight rods, 1.0-1.5 × 3-7 µm. Growth occurs from 18 to 45°C (optimum temperature is 30-37°C). The pH range for growth is from 6.5 to 10.0 (the optimum pH is between 7.5 and 8.5). In the presence of 0.1% (w/v) yeast extract, can grow using uric acid as the sole carbon and energy source. Do not utilize carbohydrates, alcohols, amino acids, or organic acids. Do not grow on milk or chopped meat medium. The major products of metabolism are acetate, formate, CO2 and NH3. Oxidase-, catalase-, lipase- and urease-negative. Nitrate and sulfate are not reduced. Cell walls contain meso-diaminopimelate. Can be isolated from sewage, hypersaline microbial mats and avian droppings.
