Overview

  • Buchnera aphidicola is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 30%. Buchnera aphidicola is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Munson1991)



  • This organism has been recovered from endosymbionts of aphids. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Non-colonising.
