Overview

  • Chitinophaga agri is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 46.2%. Chitinophaga agri is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Lee2021a)



  • This organism has been recovered from the soil of reclaimed land, Korea. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
