Allofrancisella
. Members of the family were isolated from natural fresh and salty water, man‐made water systems, and a wide range of animal species, including man, rodents, lagomorphs, birds, farmed and wild fish, shellfish, and blood‐sucking insects and ticks. The highly pathogenic
Francisella tularensis

AllFrankiastrains sporulate in culture, but only some genotypes maintain the capacity to form abundant sporangia within plant cells. Around 50% of endophyticFrankiahave resisted isolation. Growth is slow, and it took a long time to obtain isolates after decades of unsuccessful attempts. Isolates are mostly white, sometimes pigmented, have mostly simple growth requirements, and can fix nitrogen in pure culture or in symbiotic nodules except for a small number of nonsymbiotic isolates.

E. succinigenes
cells are slightly curved rods, occurring singly or in pairs. Obligate anaerobic bacteria without formation of endospores. Cells stain Gram‐negative. In the exponential growth phase, cells are motile, but nonmotile in the stationary growth phase. Urease activity is negative, indole is not produced, and gelatin and esculin are not hydrolyzed. Oxidase‐ and catalase‐positive. The representative species utilizes glycerol and several carbohydrates (xylose, glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose, sucrose, arabinose, xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, maltose, lactose, cellobiose, and maltotriose). The products formed are H
2
, succinate, and acetate with minor amounts of malate. Yeast extract (0.5 g/l) is required for growth, and just weak growth occurs when only 0.1 g/l is added to the medium. Tested polysaccharides (including cellulose), alcohols, organic acids, or amino acids do not support growth. Sulfur or fumarate serves as terminal electron acceptor. Ferric iron, nitrate, thiosulfate, and sulfate are not reduced. Growth occurrs at temperature from 25 to 40°C (optimum 37°C), and pH from 7.0 to 9.0 (optimum pH 7.5). The predominant cellular fatty acids are unsaturated. The type strain was isolated from sludge treating a biogas desulfurization bioreactor. Another
