Overview

  • Oceanobacillus jeddahense is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 37.1%. Oceanobacillus jeddahense is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Khelaifia2016a)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faeces of an obese person from Saudi Arabia. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
