Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
consists of non-motile, non spore-forming rod-shaped cells. Cells are Gram-positive, but in older cultures may stain Gram-negative. Strictly anaerobic and catalase and oxidase negative. Non-haemolytic. Glucose and some other sugars may be fermented. Butyrate, acetate and lactate are the major products of glucose metabolism. Acetate is utilised. Arginine dihydrolase, phosphoamidase, and α-galactosidase are produced. Gelatin and urease are not hydrolysed. Indole is not produced. Nitrate is reduced. The DNA G+C content is 45.5-46.0 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: Cells are spore-forming. Indole is produced. Arginine dihydrolase and α-galactosidase are not produced. Nitrate is not reduced. The DNA G+C content is 44-46 mol%.
