Moryella
RANK: Genus
TAXONOMY: Bacteria -> Terrabacteria group -> Firmicutes -> Clostridia -> Clostridiales -> Lachnospiraceae -> Moryella
OVERVIEW:
Elongated rod with pointed ends, about 0.8–1.7 µm × 0.5–0.6 µm, usually occurring singly or in pairs and occasionally in short chains. Nonmotile. Gram-stain-positive, but cells may decolorize easily. Strictly anaerobic. Does not form spores. Catalase- and urease-negative. Nitrate is not reduced. Indole-positive and weakly saccharolytic. Traces of gas may be produced in trypticase-glucose-yeast extract (TGY, see below) deep agar cultures. The major metabolic end products in TGY broth are acetic, butyric, and lactic acids. Its habitat is not known, but it is probably a resident of the human digestive tract.DNA G + C content (mol%): 50.2.Type species: Moryella indoligenes
This genus contains microbial species that can reside in the human gastrointestinal tract. [PMC 4262072]
