Description
[edit]It is a coccobacillus with rounded ends, about 0.7 micrometres in width and 0.9 micrometres in length, occurring in pairs or short chains. Gram-positive reaction. Its cell wall is composed of pseudomurein. It is a strict anaerobe and its type strain is HOT (=DSM 11977T =OCM 813T). It was first isolated from horse and pig faeces.
