and Ventura 2021.
Gram-positive irregular rods. Non-spore-forming. Non-motile.
Colonies are white and circular, with a second slimy layer, while embedded colonies
are white and elliptical, 1-2 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; no growth at 20, 46 or 49 ºC), pH
4.5-9.0 (optimum pH 6.5). Grows under anaerobic and microaerophilic conditions
and exhibit limited aerobic growth
Isolated from the a fecal sample of a moustached tamarin (Saguinus mystax), Czech zoo.
Undetermined.
