Overview

  • Aminipila terrae is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 37.0%. Aminipila terrae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Kim2021)



  • This organism has been recovered from the Geum river sediment, Korea. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
