Overview

  • Clostridium manihotivorum is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 32%. Clostridium manihotivorum is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Cheawchanlertfa2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from pulp landfill, Thailand. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
