Overview

  • Anaerostipes rhamnosivorans is a Gram-variable, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 44.5%. Anaerostipes rhamnosivorans is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bui2014)



  • This organism has been recovered from human gastrointestinal tract (Bui2014). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
