Overview

  • Victivallis vadensis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 9 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 59.2%. Victivallis vadensis is probably a common, although minor, coloniser of the gut. (Zoetendal2003; Derrien2010Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from human faeces, blood, digester, and termites. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.

    The order Victivallales encompasses Gram-negative bacteria retrieved from mainly anaerobic environments, including human faeces, termite gut, rumen, and anaerobic digester, within the phylum Lentisphaerae. The order comprises the genus Victivallis and several uncultured clones retrieved from anaerobic digester and termite gut. [PMID: 15142250] Victivallis vadensis ATCC BAA-548 represents the first cultured representative from the novel phylum Lentisphaerae, a deep-branching bacterial lineage. Few cultured bacteria from this phylum are known, and V. vadensis therefore represents an important organism for evolutionary studies. [PMID: 21398537]
