Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Gram-positive, motile, non-spore-forming, straight rods. Obligately anaerobic. Oxidase-negative and catalase-negative. Cell wall peptidoglycan contains LL-DAP. Cellular fatty acids consist mainly of iso-branched fatty acids, predominantly iso-C16:0 and iso-C12:0. Mesophilic. Grow at 20-44°C and pH 3.5-9.0. Chemoorganotrophic. Amino acids and peptides may serve as nitrogen sources. Various mono-, di- and oligosaccharides are fermented. Gelatin and aesculin are hydrolysed. The major fermentation products from glucose include ethanol, acetate, hydrogen and carbon dioxide; propionate and succinate are not produced. Sulfate is not reduced. The G+C contents of the genomic DNA of the known strains are 47.8 and 49.0 mol%.
