Overview

  • Clostridium transplantifaecale is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 48.1%. Clostridium transplantifaecale is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Yimagou2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Clostridioides difficile infection). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Virtually all 50 carbohydrates tested (API50) were positive; this result is rather surprising.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Yimagou2019);
    Character Response
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:
  • grows at 25℃; grows at 45℃; Grows optimally at 37℃.
  • H+
  • Acid from carbohydrates usually produced:
  • D-arabinose; L-arabinose; fructose; fucose; D-fucose; galactose; glucose; mannose; rhamnose; ribose; sorbose; D-tagatose; xylose; L-xylose; amygdalin; glycogen; inulin; starch; gentiobiose; lactose; maltose; D-lyxose; melezitose; melibiose; raffinose; sucrose; trehalose; D-turanose; adonitol; D-arabitol; L-arabitol; dulcitol; erythritol; glycerol; inositol; mannitol; sorbitol; xylitol; arbutin; gluconate; 5-ketogluconate; α-methyl glucoside; methyl mannoside; methyl xyloside; N-Ac glucosamine; salicin;
  • Active enzymes:
  • alkaline phosphatase; acid phosphatase; N-Ac β-glucosaminidase; catalase; esterase C4; esterase lipase C8; α-galactosidase; β-galactosidase; α-glucosidase; Leu arylamidase; naphthol-ASBI-P;
