Characteristics
General Background
B. finegoldii is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative rod bacteria that occurs in human feces.
Morphology
B. finegoldii is non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rods, about 0.80 µm wide and 1.5-4.5 µm long and occur singly.
Molecular structure
Metabolism
The optimum temperature for growth is about 37 C. B. finegoldii produces acid is fro–4.5 mm long, and occur singly. Colonies are 1–2 mm in diameter, circular, translucent–whitish, raised and convex.m the metabolism of glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose, salicin, xylose, arabinose, cellobiose, mannose, raffinose and rhamnose. The bacteria grows in the presence of bile.
