Abstract: 

But.ti' aux' el.la. M.L. dim. ending -ella; M.L. fem. n. Buttiauxella named after René Buttiaux, a French microbiologist for his numerous contributions to the taxonomy of Enterobacteriaceae.

Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Enterobacteriales / Enterobacteriaceae / Buttiauxella

Straight rods, 0.5–0.7 × 2–3 μm, conforming to the general definition of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Gram negative, motile by peritrichous flagella. Facultatively anaerobic. Chemoorganotrophic. Psychrotolerant, growing at 4°C. D-Glucose is fermented with the production of acid and gas. Nitrate is reduced to nitrite. Oxidase negative, catalase positive. Most strains are methyl red positive. The majority of strains are indole negative. Acids are produced from various carbohydrates, including L-arabinose, cellobiose, maltose, D -mannose, L -rhamnose, D -xylose, and salicin. 16S rDNA sequence analysis of the type strain of Buttiauxella agrestis clearly places the genus in the family Enterobacteriaceae within the Gammaproteobacteria. Often isolated from fresh water, but also found in soil, and especially in the intestines of snails and slugs from various regions in the world.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 47–51.
