Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are slightly curved rods with peritrichously arranged flagella. Spores might be formed. The Gram type positive cell wall is of the A1α, L-Lys-direct peptidoglycan type. Growth is strictly anaerobic and requires yeast extract and is supported by the fermentation of pyruvate or of amino acids in a Stickland type reaction. H2 is not produced. Carbohydrates are not fermented. The purines uric acid, adenine, hypoxanthine, guanine and xanthine are not utilized. Catalase and urease are absent.
