Overview

  • Muribaculum gordoncarteri is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 49.5%. Muribaculum gordoncarteri is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Miyake2020a)



  • This organism has been recovered from mouse faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS (Miyake2020a);
    Character Response
  • Substrates hydrolysed or digested:
  • aesculin;
  • H+
  • Acid from carbohydrates usually produced:
  • L-arabinose; glucose; xylose; cellubiose; lactose; maltose; raffinose; sucrose; glycerol;
  • Active enzymes:
  • Ala arylamidase; alkaline phosphatase; arabinosidase; fucosidase; α-galactosidase; β-galactosidase; α-glucosidase; β-glucosidase; glutamic acid decarboxylase; Glu-Glu arylamidase; Leu-Gly arylamidase;
