CELLULAR  
Staining Gram-negative
Morphology Helical, curved, or straight, unbranched cells, 0.5-1.0 um in diameter and 2-6 um in length, with rounded or tapered ends...
Motility Rapid, darting motility is by means of a single polar flagellum.
Specialized structures Endospores are not produced

Growth Parameters Wolinella
PHYSIOLOGICAL  
Tropism  
Oxygen Originally described as anaerobic, Wolinella is in fact a H2 and formate requireing microaerophile that is capable of respiring with oxygen . Hydrogen and formate are electron donors and are used as energy sources. Fumarate and NO3, are used as electron acceptors.
pH  
Temperature  
Requirements  
Products The formate is oxidized to CO2, while fumarate is reduced to succinate. Carbohydrates are not fermented and do not support growth. Hydrogen sulfide is produced
Enzymes Catalase-negative oxidase positive
Unique features contains cytochromes
ENVIRONMENTAL  
Habitat Strains have been isolated from the bovine rumen, from the human gingival sulcus, and from dental root canal infections
