Overview


  • Labilithrix luteola is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 66.3%. Labilithrix luteola is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Yamamoto2014)



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

  • QUIRKS
  • Low maximum growth temperature (30C) and strictly aerobic requirements makes this likely a gut non-coloniser.

  • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Yamamoto2014);
    Character Response
  • pH
  • Acidity tolerance:
  • tolerates pH 5; tolerates pH 9; Grows optimally at pH 6-8.
  • 🌡
  • Temperature tolerance:
  • grows at 15℃; grows at 30℃; Grows optimally at 20-30℃.
  • Active enzymes:
  • alkaline phosphatase; acid phosphatase; catalase; esterase C4; esterase lipase C8; β-galactosidase; Leu arylamidase; oxidase; naphthol-ASBI-P;

  • SPECIAL FEATURES (Yamamoto2014);
    Character Response
  • Pigments:
  • light yellow

  • RESPONSE TO ANTIBIOTICS (Yamamoto2014);
    Class Active Resistant
  • Aminoglycosides:
  • kanamycin; streptomycin;
  • Polypep/ketides:
  • rifampicin;
  • Heterocycles:
  • chloramphenicol;
