Overview

  • Bacillus massiliogabonensis is a Gram-negative, spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 37.9%. Bacillus massiliogabonensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Mourembou2017; Sarr2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (CCUG, Sarr2020). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
