Overview

  • Deinococcus wulumuqiensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 66.7%. Deinococcus wulumuqiensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Hong2015; Wang2010)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and irradiated soil. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Obligate aerobe; unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
