Overview

  • Microbacterium deminutum is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 69%. Microbacterium deminutum is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Kageyama2006)



  • This organism has been recovered from soil, Japan. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Unlikely gut coloniser because this organism doesn't grow at 37C.
