Overview

  • Phoenicibacter congonensis, (aka Phoenicibacter massiliensis), is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 43.4%. Phoenicibacter congonensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bilen2017f; Bilen2018d)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (Bilen2018d). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
