Taxonomy

Description

Cells form short rods, are non-motile, light red pigmented and grow chemoorganotrophically and aerobically. Major fatty acids are iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. Identified polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The major respiratory quinone is MK-11. The peptidoglycan structure belongs to B type, with glycine at first position, l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid at third position and structure d-glutamic acid–l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid.

The G+C content of the genomic DNA is approximately 50–55 mol% and genome size <2Mbp. The type species of the genus is Aquiluna borgnonia.
