Overview

  • Caulobacter vibrioides is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, vibrio bacterium. It has been detected in at least 3 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 64-65%. Caulobacter vibrioides is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Gao2018; Poindexter2005Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from a freshwater pond. 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
  • Vitamin B2 is essential for growth. Obligate aerobe; unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
