Overview

  • Natronorubrum bangense is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, non-motile, pleiomorph rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 59.9%. Natronorubrum bangense is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Xu1999)



  • This organism has been recovered from a soda lake, Tibet. 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
  • Requires minimum 12% salt concentration and high pH to grow. Therefore likely to be a gut non-coloniser.
