Overview

  • Enterococcus massiliensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, oval-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 39.6%. Enterococcus massiliensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (LePage2016)
