Overview

  • Paenibacillus bouchesdurhonensis is a Gram-negative, spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 47.4%. Paenibacillus bouchesdurhonensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Pham2017b)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (severe acute marasmus - Pham2017b). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
