Overview

  • Corynebacterium doosanense is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, club-shaped-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 53.5%. Corynebacterium doosanense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Lee2009; Bernard2012Bergey)



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