Clo.a.ci.bac.te'ri.um. L. fem. n. cloaca a sewer, canal; L. neut. n. bacterium a small rod; N.L. neut. n. Cloacibacterium a sewer rod. Bacteroidetes / Flavobacteriia / Flavobacteriales / Flavobacteriaceae / Cloacibacterium Pleomorphic rods . Nonmotile . Gram‐stain‐negative. A flexirubin‐type pigment is not produced. Yellow to orange carotenoid‐type pigments are produced . Facultatively anaerobic . Catalase‐ and oxidase‐positive. The major end product of glucose fermentation under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions is pyruvate. Cellular fatty acids consist mainly of branched‐chain fatty acids, with C 13:0 iso, C 15:0 iso, C 15:1 iso, and C 17:0 iso 3‐OH predominating. The predominant respiratory quinone is MK‐6 . DNA G + C content ( mol %): 31. Type species : Cloacibacterium normanense Allen, Lawson, Collins, Falsen and Tanner 2006, 1314 VP .
