Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming rod. Anaerobic and mesophilic. Cell wall peptidoglycan contains abundant L-lysine but not diaminopimelic acids. Cellular fatty acids consist mainly of saturated fatty acids, predominantly C14:0, C16:0 and C18:0. Chemoorganotrophic. Yeast extract and peptone can be used as energy sources. The fermentation products from PY include ethanol, acetic acid, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Nitrate but not thiosulfate is reduced. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the type species is 38.0 mol%.
