Overview

  • Pseudodesulfovibrio indicus is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, motile, vibrio bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 63.5%. Pseudodesulfovibrio indicus is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Cao2016)



  • This organism has been recovered from a hydrothermal vent. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
