Descriptor Oxalobacter formigenes
Entry term(s) Oxalobacter
Scope note: Especie del género Oxalobacter, constituida por bacilos gramnegativos, rectos o curvos y con extremos redondos. Las células son inmóviles, no tienen esporas, y utilizan OXALATO como única fuente de CARBONO y energía, con formiato y DIÓXIDO DE CARBONO como productos finales. Se aíslan de sedimentos de los lagos y del rumen o intestino grueso de humanos y animales. (Bergey s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th ed)

Scope note: The sole species of the genus Oxalobacter consisting of straight or curved gram-negative rods with rounded ends. Cells are nonmotile, nonsporing, and use oxylates as the only source of CARBON and energy, with formate and CARBON DIOXIDE as end products. They are isolated from lake sediments and from the rumen or large bowel of humans and animals. (From Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th ed)
