Overview

  • Amycolatopsis thailandensis is a Gram-positive, exosporous, aerobic, non-motile, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 67%. Amycolatopsis thailandensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Chomchoei2011)



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