Description

Coccobacillus with slightly tapered ends, about 0.5 micrometres in width and 0.6-1.2 micrometres in length, occurring in pairs or short chains. Gram-positive reaction. Its cell walls are composed of pseudomurein. It is a strict anaerobe and its type strain is CWT (=DSM 11995T =OCM 817T). It was first isolated from cow faeces.

gollark: What's the difference between the AR and NDAR?
gollark: DOWN WITH SICKNESS!
gollark: I wonder what happened to the hatcheries. This is weird.
gollark: *hatchling* soon though I forgot about it until now.
gollark: I've not really gotten any PMs about it, which makes it a bit more odd (are they just looking at it for no reason?) but you know.
