Overview

  • Halobacillus dabanensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 41.4%. Halobacillus dabanensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Liu2005)



  • This organism has been recovered from salt lakes in China. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Unlikely gut coloniser because its optimum growth is with high salt.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Liu2005);
    Character Response
  • Substrates hydrolysed or digested:
  • casein; DNA; starch;
  • 🧂
  • Salt tolerance:
  • doesn't tolerate 0% salt; tolerates 25% salt; Grows optimally with 10% salt.
  • pH
  • Acidity tolerance:
  • tolerates pH 5.0; tolerates pH 11; Grows optimally at pH 7.5.
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:

  • H+
  • Acid from carbohydrates usually produced:
  • fructose; glucose; xylose; maltose; sucrose; trehalose; mannitol;
  • Active enzymes:
  • catalase; DNase; oxidase;
    • SPECIAL FEATURES (Liu2005);
    Character Response
  • ✗
  • NO3➔NO2:
