Overview

  • Sphingomonas hankookensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 67.2%. Sphingomonas hankookensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Yoon2009)



  • This organism has been recovered from wastewater treatment, Korea. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
