Overview

  • Kallipyga gabonensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 50%. Kallipyga gabonensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Mourembou2015a)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faces of a man from Gabon. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
