Gram-negative, spiral shape cells.
Anaerobic. Optimum growth temperature 30 ºC, pH 7.3-7.6. Grow in medium with
perchloroethylene and H2 as sole energy sources and acetate as carbon source.
perchloroethylene and H2 as sole energy sources and acetate as carbon source.
Isolated from activated sludge with pyruvate and perchloroethylene as energy substrates.
Undetermined. Authors suggest that the organism may be useful for bioremediation of environments polluted with tetrachloroethene.
