Overview

  • Flavobacterium banpakuense is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, gliding, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 31.1%. Flavobacterium banpakuense is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Kim2011)



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