Overview

  • Petrobacter succinatimandens is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 58.6%. Petrobacter succinatimandens is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Salinas2004a)



  • This organism has been recovered from an oil well, Australia. 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.
