Overview

  • Kiritimatiella glycovorans is a Gram-negative, 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 63.3%. Kiritimatiella glycovorans is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Spring2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from the suboxic zone of a hypersaline microbial mat, Republic of Kiribati. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
