Overview

  • Duncaniella dubosii is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 47.9%. Duncaniella dubosii is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Miyake2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faeces of mice. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
