description
Cells are Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming cocci. The cell- wall peptidoglycan type is A 1 α type (L-Lysdirect), comprising alanine, glutamic acid and lysine. The three major compounds of the fatty acid profile are C 16: 1 ω 9 c, C 16: 0 and C 18: 1 ω 9 c. Three glycolipids, a phospholipid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphoglycolipid and diphosphatidylglycerol are the polar lipids. Fundicoccus gen. nov. belongs to the family Aerococcaceae within the order Lactobacillales. The type species of the genus is Fundicoccus ignavus.
