Gram-negative, slightly curved rods, 0.3-0.5 x 2.5-4.0 µm, occurring singly. Motile by
fimbriae located at the cell's end. Spores are spherical, terminal.
fimbriae located at the cell's end. Spores are spherical, terminal.
Colonies are flat, colorless, transparent, have undulate margins, and measure 7–10
mm in diameter. Cellulolytic. Strict anaerobe. Bile inhibits growth. Hemin, vitamin K,
and rumen fluid stimulate growth.
Optimum temperature for growth is 40 ºC. Grow at 15-46.5 ºC. Optimum pH 7.5-7.7;
range 5.7-9.13.
Ferments cellulose to produce ethanol, acetic acid, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide.
