Overview

  • Oceanidesulfovibrio marinus, (aka Desulfovibrio marinus), is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, motile, vibrio bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 60.4%. Oceanidesulfovibrio marinus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Galushko2020; BenDhiaThabet2007)



  • This organism has been recovered from phosphogypsum-contaminated marine sediment, Tunesia. 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
  • High salt required for optimum growth, so unlikely gut coloniser.
