Overview

  • Massilicoli timonensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 53.0%. Massilicoli timonensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Ndongo2019b)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal. Robust growth can have unknown consequences for gut health.
