VictivallisRANK: GenusTAXONOMY: Bacteria -> PVC group -> Lentisphaerae -> Lentisphaeria -> Victivallales -> Victivallaceae -> Victivallis OVERVIEW: Coccoid cells, occurring singly and in pairs. The diameters of the cells vary between 0.5 and 1.3 µm. Gram-negative cell structure. Nonmotile. Strictly anaerobic. Victivallis does not grow on standard agar plates, but beige, shiny, lens-shaped colonies are formed on agar plates with 0.75% (w/v) agar after 10 d of incubation. Cells grow optimally at 37°C and pH 6.5. Growth of Victivallis is chemoorganotrophic and restricted to a variety of sugars. Acetate, ethanol, H2 and bicarbonate are the main fermentation products from glucose. DNA G+C content (mol%): 59.2 (HPLC). Type species: Victivallis vadensis This genus contains microbial species that can reside in the human gastrointestinal tract. [PMC 4262072]
