It is nonmotile and has rod-shaped cells with central swellings that occur singly, in pairs, and in filaments. Surface colonies are 1 to 2 mm in diameter, circular, and transparent to opaque. Colonies in deep agar are lenticular and nonpigmented. This organism is able to degrade uric acid to CO2, acetate, and ammonia, and may play a role in providing nitrogen to the termite host. Acetic and lactic acids are the major end products of glucose metabolism; formic acid may also be produced. Acid is produced from glucose, fructose, maltose, mannitol, mannose, rhamnose, sucrose, trehalose, and xylose.
