Overview

  • Monoglobus pectinilyticus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 4 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 37.2%. Monoglobus pectinilyticus is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Kim2017)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Kim2017). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • In 34% of Europeans (unseenbio.com). Minor coloniser.
