Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, weakly catalase-positive organisms which form pleomorphic rods and filaments; the latter show branching on blood agar. Microcolonies are filamentous on brain-heart-infusion agar supplemented with bovine serum. Mature colonies on bovine blood agar are white, adhere to the agar and are molar-toothed. The peptidoglycan contains L-lysine, alanine, and glutamic acid; some strains also have L-ornithine. The muramic acid moiety of the peptidoglycan is N-glycosylated. Cell-wall sugars include galactose and glucose, but not 6-deoxytalose or rhamnose. The G+C content is around 67–68%.
