Gram-positive irregular shorter rods. Non-spore-forming. Non-motile.
Colonies are white and circular, with a second slimy layer, while embedded colonies
are white and elliptical, 2-3 mm in diameter after 2 days of incubation under anaerobic
conditions on WSP agar (Wilkins-Chalgren agar supplemented with GMO-free soya
peptone 5 g/l, L-cysteine hydrochloride 0.5 g/l and Tween 80, 1 ml/l). Grows at
temperature 30-37 ºC (optimum 37 ºC; weak growth at 46 ºC; no growth at 20 or 49 ºC),
pH 4.0-9.0 (optimum pH 6.0). Anaerobic.
Isolated from the fecal sample of a patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), Czech zoo.
Undetermined.
