Overview

  • Agrilactobacillus composti, (aka Lactobacillus composti), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 47%. Agrilactobacillus composti is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Rossi2016; Endo2007a)



  • This organism has been recovered from compost of distilled shochu residue. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal. Robust growth can have positive consequences for gut health.
