On the basis of the position of spore formation, ability to degrade gelatin, and formation of butanol plus acetic and butyric acids, the organisms resemble Clostridium acetobutylicum, C. aurantibutyricum and C.felsineum , but they differ sufficiently from these bacteria to warrant recognition as a new species., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-122-1-17
