Overview

  • Romboutsia maritimum is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 27.1%. Romboutsia maritimum is probably a rare gut coloniser.



  • This organism has been recovered from a coastal estuarine mud sample in New Zealand. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
