Overview

  • Hymenobacter russus is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Hymenobacter russus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Maeng2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from soil, Korea. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Radiation resistant. A low optimum growth temperature (25C) suggests this organism is unlikely to be a gut coloniser.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Maeng2020);
    Character Response
  • Substrates hydrolysed or digested:
  • gelatin; urea;
  • pH
  • Acidity tolerance:
  • tolerates pH 6.0-8.0; Grows optimally at pH 7.0.
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:
  • grows at 10℃; grows at 30℃; Grows optimally at 25℃.
  • Active enzymes:
  • alkaline phosphatase; arginine dihydrolase; catalase; Leu arylamidase; urease; Val arylamidase;
    • SPECIAL FEATURES (Maeng2020);
