Overview

  • Desulfoscipio gibsoniae, (aka Desulfotomaculum gibsoniae), is a Gram-negative, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 54.8%. Desulfoscipio gibsoniae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Kuever1999)



  • This organism has been recovered from fresh water. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
