Overview

  • Enorma timonensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 65.8%. Enorma timonensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Ramasamy2014a)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Ramasamy2014a). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
