Overview

  • Microbacterium ginsengisoli is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly 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 69.4%. Microbacterium ginsengisoli is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Park2008; Suzuki2012Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and soil from Korea. 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. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Obligate aerobe, no spore formation and doesn't grow at 37C, so probably a gut non-coloniser.
