Overview

  • Aliagarivorans marinus is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 52-53%. Aliagarivorans marinus is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Jean2009)



  • This organism has been recovered from coastal seawater, Taiwan. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
