Overview

  • Acidisarcina polymorpha is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, pleiomorph rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 56.8%. Acidisarcina polymorpha is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Beletsky2018)



  • This organism has been recovered from acidic soil, Russia. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
