Overview

  • Paenibacillus ihuae is a Gram-positive, 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 49.6%. Paenibacillus ihuae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (AlBayssari2018)



  • This organism has been recovered from the faeces of an ill patient, France. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
