Acetobacterium woodii is a Gram-positive anaerobic nonsporeforming bacterium able to grow on H2 and CO2 as sole sources of energy. The product of fermentation is acetic acid. Fine structural analysis showed rod-shaped flagellated cells, and coccoid cells without flagella arranged predominantly in pairs and chains. The cell wall was found to be composed of three layers. The cell surface exhibited a periodic array of particles consisting of subunits. The cytoplasmic membrane showed particles either in random distribution or in a hexagonal pattern. Intracytoplasmic membranes were rarely observed, whereas inclusion bodies of varying shapes, predominantly in an uncommon disc-shape, could frequently be observed. Their content was dissolved in ultrathin sections indicating hydrophobic nature.
伍氏醋酸杆菌是一种革兰氏阳性厌氧无芽孢杆菌，能够以氢气和二氧化碳作为唯一能量来源生长。发酵产物为乙酸。精细结构分析显示，细胞呈杆状且有鞭毛，无鞭毛的球状细胞主要成对或成链排列。发现细胞壁由三层组成。细胞表面呈现出由亚基构成的颗粒周期性排列。细胞质膜上的颗粒呈随机分布或六边形排列。很少观察到胞内膜，而不同形状的包涵体（主要是不常见的盘状）则经常可见。在超薄切片中，它们的内含物溶解，表明具有疏水性。
