Description

Coccobacillus with slightly tapered ends, about 0.6 micrometres in width and 1 micrometre in length, occurring in pairs or short chains. Gram-positive reaction. Its cell walls are composed of pseudomurein. It is a strict anaerobe and its type strain is GST(=DSM 11979T =OCM 815T). It was first isolated from goose faeces.{{cite journal|last1=Saengkerdsub|first1=S.|last2=Anderson|first2=R. C.|last3=Wilkinson|first3=H. H.|last4=Kim|first4=W.-K.|last5=Nisbet|first5=D.
