Overview

  • Bacillus sinesaloumensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, aerobic, motile, pleiomorph rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 37.9%. Bacillus sinesaloumensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Senghor2017; 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
  • High salt required for optimum growth, so unlikely gut coloniser.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Senghor2017); (Sarr2020);
    Character Response
  • 🧂
  • Salt tolerance:
  • tolerates 0% salt; tolerates 7.5% salt; Grows optimally with 5% salt.
  • pH
  • Acidity tolerance:
  • Grows optimally at pH 7.5.
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:
  • Grows optimally at 37℃.
  • H+
  • Acid from carbohydrates usually produced:
  • aesculin;
  • Active enzymes:
  • N-Ac β-glucosaminidase; catalase; esterase C4; α-galactosidase; β-galactosidase; α-glucosidase; β-glucosidase; β-glucuronidase; oxidase;
