Peptoanaerobacter Sizova et al. 2016
General information
Description and emendation
Cells are Gram-positive, structurally and after staining, motile peritrichous rods with round ends, about 1.2-2.5 μm long and 0.4-0.8 μm wide, often occurring in chains. No spores are formed. Strictly anaerobic. Catalase, oxidase and urease are negative. Nitrate is not reduced. Growth is supported by yeast extract but not Casamino acids. Yeast extract is required for growth on glucose, sucrose and maltose. The major metabolic end-products of glucose fermentation are acetate and propionate. Growth temperature range is 30-42°C. Major fatty acids are C14:0, C16:0, C16:1ω 7c. Genes responsible for biosynthesis of teichoic and lipoteichoic acids, polar lipids, polyamines and DAP are present in the genome. There are no genes responsible for biosynthesis of respiratory benzoquinones or naphthoquinones, mycolic acids or lipopolysaccharides.
