Major fermentation products of this asaccharolytic organism were acetate and butyrate when grown on a complex medium. Growth of strain CG19-1T was stimulated by glucose or pyruvate. Growth inhibition was observed in the presence of several phenolic acids including ferulic acid, which nevertheless was reduced to dihydroferulic acid. Strain CG19-1T contained peptidoglycan type A4β l-Orn–d-Asp. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c. The genomic DNA G+C content was 47.1 mol%. Based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain CG19-1T is a member of the Lachnospiraceae . However, sequence identity to other Lachnospiraceae species with validly published names is approximately 93.0 % with Frisingicoccus caecimuris being the most closely related species according to phylogenetic analysis. Based on these findings, it is proposed to create a novel genus, Catenibacillus, and a novel species, Catenibacillus scindens, with the type strain CG19-1T (=DSM 106146T=CCUG 71490T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.003001
