Overview

  • Gemmatimonas groenlandica is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 65.1%. Gemmatimonas groenlandica is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Zeng2021)



  • This organism has been recovered from surface water, Greenland. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Yeast extract used as a N source. Likely not a gut coloniser because maximum temperature for growth is 32C.
