Overview

  • Ruminococcus bovis is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 34.6%. Ruminococcus bovis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Gaffney2021)



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