Overview

  • Peptoniphilus timonensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 4 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 30.7%. Peptoniphilus timonensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Mishra2012c)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Is a known gut commensal. Robust growth can have positive consequences for gut health.
