Abstract: 

Se.bal.del'la. N.L. dim. ending -ella; N.L. fem. dim. n. Sebaldella named after the French microbiologist Madeleine Sebald, who first described the organism.

Fusobacteria / Fusobacteriia / Fusobacteriales / Leptotrichiaceae / Sebaldella

Rods. Nonspore-forming. Nonmotile. Gram-stain-negative. Anaerobic. Acid is produced from glucose and some other sugars. The major end products of glucose fermentation are acetic and lactic acids; formic acid may also be produced. Hexose monophosphate shunt enzymes, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase are absent. Glutamate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase are absent. Nonhydroxylated and 3-hydroxylated long-chain fatty acids are present. The fatty acids are primarily of the straight-chain saturated and monounsaturated types. Menaquinones are absent.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 33.4–33.5 (derived from genomic data).

Type species: Sebaldella termitidis (Sebald 1962) Collins and Shah 1986, 349^VP (Sphaerophorus siccus var. termitidis Sebald 1962, 124; Bacteroides termitidis Holdeman and Moore 1970, 33).
