Overview

  • Sodaliphilus pleomorphus is a Gram-negative, non-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 54.4%. Sodaliphilus pleomorphus is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Wylensek2020)



  • This organism has been recovered from pig faeces. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
