Overview

  • Nocardia mangyaensis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, 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 68.1%. Nocardia mangyaensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Yang2019)



  • This organism has been recovered from oil-contaminated soil, China. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
