Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are strictly anaerobic rods, non-motile, with no flagella. Gram-negative type cell wall. Mesophilic and non-spore-forming. Neutrophilic and heterotrophic in nature. Asaccharolytic and proteolytic. Metabolism is fermentative, does not reduce any of the electron acceptors and does not perform the Stickland reaction. The major fatty acids are iso-C15:0, iso-C15:0 3-OH and C17:1 ω6c. The DNA G+C content of the type species is 55.8 mol%.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: The ability to grow on mucin and mucin components, as a sole carbon source, is a trait shared by members of this genus. Cells are glucose non-fermenters, but can grow on fucose. The predominant fatty acids include iso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0.
