Overview

  • Actinomyces sp. ph3, (aka Actinomyces grossensis), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile, bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 56.0%. Actinomyces sp. ph3 is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Is a known gut commensal.
