Gram-negative, helical, curved, or straight, unbranched cells, 0.5-1.0 x 2-6 μm, with
rounded or tapered ends. Nonsporulated. Rapid, darting motility is by means of a
single polar flagellum.

Colonies are pale yellow opaque to gray translucent with convex, pitting, and spreading
variants. Anaerobic; some strains can grow in the presence of 5% oxygen but not in air
enriched with 10% CO2. Grow at 42 ºC. Growth is stimulated in broth cultures by formate
and fumarate. Hydrogen and formate are used as energy sources. Formate is oxidized
to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Fumarate is reduced to succinate.

Positive results for nitrates and nitrites reduction, neutral red reduction, and H2S production.
Negative results for catalase & oxidase. Lysine, ornithine, and arginine are not decarboxylated. Starch, dextran, esculin, casein, DNA,
and gelatin are not hydrolyzed. Hydrogen peroxide, urease, lecithanase, lipase, indole, ammonia, and acetylmethylcarbinol are not
produced.
