Overview

  • Loigolactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 45%. Loigolactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Hammes2011gBergey)



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