Overview

  • Terribacillus aidingensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 44.6-45.0%. Terribacillus aidingensis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Liu2010)



  • This organism has been recovered from a salt lake, China. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
