Trueperella pyogenes is a gram positive bacteria which is "non-spore-forming, non-motile, non-capsulated, facultatively anaerobic rod" (NCBI).

Trueperella
Description and Significance
Trueperella pyogenes is a gram positive bacteria which is "non-spore-forming, non-motile, non-capsulated, facultatively anaerobic rod" (NCBI). This bacteria thrives in areas rich with blood and/or serum, which is often used to culture. For this reason, T. pyogenes is responsible for many types of infections including mastitis, pneumonia, and abscesses often found in livestock and humans.
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
