Incertae Sedis -> Acidaminobacter OVERVIEW: Rod-shaped bacteria with pointed ends; Gram-stain-negative. Endospores not formed. Chemo-organotrophic fermentative metabolism. Strictly anaerobic. Amino acids are major energy sources. Acetate is the major fermentation product. Lactate, succinate, butyrate, and ethanol not formed. Growth on many substrates stimulated by or dependent on the presence of hydrogen-utilizing bacteria or archaea. Mesophilic. DNA G+C content (mol%): 48.1 (Tm). Type species: Acidaminobacter hydrogenoformans |
