Overview

  • Anaerococcus jeddahensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 29.8%. Anaerococcus jeddahensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Dione2018)
