Bac.te.ro.i'des. N.L. n. bacter rod; L. suff. -oides (from Gr. suff. -eides, from Gr. n. eidos that which is seen, form, shape, figure), resembling, similar; N.L. masc. n. Bacteroides rodlike.
Bacteroidetes / Bacteroidia / Bacteroidales / Bacteroidaceae / Bacteroides
Rod-shaped cells with rounded ends. Gram-stain-negative. Cells are fairly uniform if smears are prepared from young cultures on blood agar. Nonmotile. Anaerobic. Colonies are 1–3 mm in diameter, smooth, white to gray, and nonhemolytic on blood agar. Chemo-organotrophic. Saccharolytic. Weakly proteolytic. Most species grow in the presence of 20% bile, but are not always stimulated. Esculin is usually hydrolyzed. Nitrate is not reduced to nitrite. Indole variable. Major fermentation products are succinate and acetate. Trace to moderate amounts of isobutyrate and isovalerate may be produced. Predominant cellular fatty acid is C 15:0 anteiso.
DNA G+C content (mol%): 39–49.
Type species: Bacteroides fragilis (Veillon and Zuber 1898) Castellani and Chalmers 1919, 959AL.
