Etymology
N.L. n. <i>acidum hydroxybenzoicum</i>, hydroxybenzoic acid; N.L. masc. adj, <i>hydroxybenzoicus</i>, pertaining to hydroxybenzoic acid, referring to the characteristic feature of this organism, the reversible decarboxylation of 4-hydroxybenzoate and 3,4-dibydroxybenzoate.
Ecology
Source
isolated from a freshwater sediment sample in Athens, Georgia, USA.
Morphology
Cells are spore-forming, non-motile, slightly curved rods (0.35-0.76 × 2.5-5.1 µm), without flagellum. Sporulating cells elongate to between 5.0 and 8.0 µm long and produce terminal swollen sporangia (drumstick type). Spores are round to slightly oval (diameter, 0.8 to 1.1 µm).
