The Blautia hydrogenotrophica is gram-positive, non-sporulating, coccobacillus shaped bacterium with an average size of 0.7-0.6 mm. Through the use of negatively stained cells, it can be observed that the organism lacks flagella. (Bernalier et al. 1996)
Hydrogenotrophica, meaning feeds on hydrogen, refers to the organism’s ability to use H2/CO2 as energy source for growth” (Liu et al., 2008).
