Taxonomy

Description
The genus is defined by relative evolutionary divergence (RED) and phylogenomic analysis as a monophyletic group. Short oval rods or coccobacilli, 0.4–1 μm in width and 0.6–1.5 μm in length. Cells occur singly, in pairs or in chains of 4–6 cells. Gram positive. Nonmotile. Require complex medium with yeast extract, trypticase, rumen fluid, or fecal extract. Optimum temperature is 35–42 °C. Use H2 + CO2 as substrates for methanogenesis, some species grow poorly on formate.
