Overview

  • Sporosarcina siberiensis is a Gram-positive, Unknown, aerobic, 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 39%. Sporosarcina siberiensis is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Zhang2014b)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces and East Siberian Sea. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Borderline cold mesophile, with optimum growth temp of 28C. Unlikely gut coloniser.
