Overview

  • Bacteroides gallinarum is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 4 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 47.0%. Bacteroides gallinarum is a common gut coloniser. (Lan2006)
