Overview

  • Paludibacter jiangxiensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 42.8%. Paludibacter jiangxiensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Qiu2014)



  • This organism has been recovered from a rice paddy field, China. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
