Overview

  • Lysinibacillus meyeri is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 37.1%. Lysinibacillus meyeri is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Seiler2013)



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