MeSH definition : A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod-shaped cells which are motile
by peritrichous flagella. Late in the growth cycle, spheroplasts or coccoid bodies
occur, resulting from disintegration of the cell wall. The natural habitat is the
intestinal lumen of certain nematodes. (From Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology,
