Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Aerobic, Gram-stain-positive organisms which form straight to slightly curved rods some of which may show branching; some species only produce coccoid or coccobacillary cells. Microcolonies are not filamentous. Peptidoglycan contains L-lysine as the diamino acid and is either of the A5α or A5β type; the muramic acid residue of the peptidoglycan is N-acetylated. The major cell-wall sugars are mannose and rhamnose; the predominant menaquinone is MK-9(H4), minor amounts of MK-10(H4) and MK-8(H4) also occur. The major polar lipids are DPG and PG. Fatty-acid profiles are rich in saturated, unsaturated and iso- and anteiso-branched-chain components The genomic G+C content is 56–70%.
