Observation

@ref	Observation
66688	Cells are pleomorphic.
66688	In liquid cultures, pigmentation is observed when grown on lactic acid or turanose as a carbon source.
66688	The main fermentation end products are propionic and acetic acids in molar ratio 2.5, which is unaffected by the presence of oxygen.
