Overview

  • Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 59.9%. Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Dridi2012)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Dridi2012). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
