Overview

  • Acidaminococcus provencensis is a Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, coccus bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 53.2%. Acidaminococcus provencensis is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal. Robust growth can have unknown consequences for gut health.
