Overview

  • Anaerosalibacter bizertensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly 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 31.1%. Anaerosalibacter bizertensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Rezgui2012)



  • This organism has been recovered from discarded motor oil and has been detected in human faeces (Bilen2018e). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
