Overview

  • Pigmentiphaga kullae is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. The DNA G+C content is 68.5%. Pigmentiphaga kullae is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Bluemel2001; Busse2005bBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces (CCUG) and soil. 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.
