Motility	Motile in liquid media by a single polar flagellum.
Specialized structures

Division

COLONIAL

Solid surface

Minute brownish colonies develop within 5-7 days in linseed oil agar and produce zones of clearing in the agar where the triacylglycerols have been hydrolyzed Lipolytic. In glycerol agar the colonies are lens-shaped, mucoid, whitish discs..

Growth Parameters

Anaerovibrio

PHYSIOLOGICAL

Tropism
Oxygen	Strictly anaerobic; no scavenging system for oxygen is present
pH	Optimum pH for growth, 6.3; no growth occurs below pH 5.9 or above pH 7.0.
Temperature	Growth occurs at 38`C but not at 20, 30 or 50`C.
Requirements	Peptides, triacylglycerols and phospholipids also sustain growth. An organic nitrogen source and vitamins (folic acid, pantothenate and pyridoxal-HCl are required.
Products	Glycerol, fructose, ribose and DL-lactate, ribose and fructose are acetate, propionate, CO2, and traces of H2 and succinate.
