Original Description
expand / minimize
Cells are Gram-positive, mesophilic, non-motile rods. Negative for catalase and oxidase. Colonies occur as very small, pale-white, semi-translucent colonies after 48–72 h incubation on BHI agar medium at 37 °C under strictly anaerobic conditions. Growth in liquid medium is slow with cells growing to low optical densities similar to McFarland 0.5 after 48 h. Cell length is ca. 0.9 µm and diameter ca. 0.4 µm. The major respiratory quinone is MK-5; MK-6 is also present. Polar lipids consist of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, six glycolipids, three phospholipids and one unidentified lipid. The most abundant cellular fatty acids are anteiso-C15:0, C16:0 DMA and C18:1 ω9c.
