Cox et al. 2017, type species of the genus.
Gram-positive, short rods and cocci, appearing singly, in pairs and in chains.
Non-spore-forming. Non-motile.
Colonies on Brucella agar supplemented with blood are grey-coloured and 0.5mm in
24h and 2-3mm in 48-72h. Grows in MTGE broth, but not in Brucella broth, chopped
meat broth or thioglycolate broth. Growth is optimal at 37C; weak growth occurs at 30
ºC and no growth at 42 ºC. Strictly anaerobic.
Isolated from murine intestinal contents.
Undetermined.
