Overview

  • Salimicrobium jeotgali is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 46.3%. Salimicrobium jeotgali is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Choi2014a)



  • This organism has been recovered from anchovy jeotgal. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Likely to be a non-coloniser of the gut because it is strictly aerobic and has an optimal growth rate at high salt concentrations.
