Overview

  • Methylomusa anaerophila is a Gram-negative, spore-forming, anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped - curved bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 46.6%. Methylomusa anaerophila is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Amano2018)



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