Overview

  • Lacunisphaera limnophila is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 66.5%. Lacunisphaera limnophila is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Rast2017)



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