Overview

  • Paenibacillus jamilae is a Gram-variable, 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 40.6-40.8%. Paenibacillus jamilae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Priest2011Bergey; Aguilera2001)



  • This organism has been recovered from corn compost, olive-mill waste. 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. A possible gut commensal.
