Overview

  • Gottschalkia acidurici is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 29.9%. Gottschalkia acidurici is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Poehlein2017)



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