Robinsoniella

Abstract

Ro.bin.so.ni.el'la. N.L. fem. dim. n. Robinsoniella in honor of Isadore M. Robinson, in recognition of his many contributions to swine microbiology. Firmicutes / Clostridia / Clostridiales / Lachnospiraceae / Robinsoniella Gram‐stain‐positive, ovoid to short rods occurring as single cells or in pairs. Endospores are formed. Anaerobic. Growth is observed with glucose in addition to a range of carbohydrates. The major end products of metabolism include acetate and succinate, but no butyrate is detected. The cell‐wall murein is based on meso ‐diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. No respiratory quinones are detected. Polar lipids include an aminophosphoglycolipid, an aminophospholipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, glycolipids, phospholipids, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol. The major long‐chain cellular fatty acid profile consists of a complex mixture of straight‐chain saturated, monounsaturated, and iso ‐methyl‐branched acids. Member of the class Clostridia , family Lachnospiraceae . Known habitats are feces of human and animals and human clinical sources. DNA G + C content (mol%) : Approximately 48.7 (HPLC); approximately 41 (WGS). Type species : Robinsoniella peoriensis Cotta, Whitehead, Falsen, Moore and Lawson 2009, 154 VP .
