Recognized in the 1800s, it was among the first bacteria to be described and drawn in the letters of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. L. buccalis is anaerobic to aerotolerant, and saccharolytic. Older cells of strain C-1013-b are Gram-negative, but younger cells that have been in culture for less than six hours are Gram-positive while on first isolation, it is anaerobic but becomes aerotolerant upon transfer and grows in the presence of air and CO(2) (adapted from PMID 21304648)."xsd:string |
