Overview

  • Catenulispora acidiphila is a Gram-positive, exosporous, aerobic, non-motile, filamentous bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 71.5%. Catenulispora acidiphila is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Busti2006)



  • This organism has been recovered from temperate forest soil. 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. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Aerobic, optimum growth temperature of 22-28C and preferred acidity <7 suggests this is an unlikely gut coloniser.
