A Gram-stain positive, endospore-forming, strictly anaerobic bacterium, designated strain Gal1, was isolated from shea cake, a waste material from the production of shea butter, originating from Saraya, Senegal. The cells were rod-shaped, slightly curved, and motile with peritrichous flagella. The strain was oxidase-negative and catalase-negative.
