Overview

  • Paenibacillus mucilaginosus is a Gram-negative, spore-forming, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 55.1-56.8%. Paenibacillus mucilaginosus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Hu2010)



  • This organism has been recovered from soil. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
