Overview

  • Anaerocolumna sedimenticola is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 36.7%. Anaerocolumna sedimenticola is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Kim2021a)



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