Overview

  • Zunongwangia profunda, (aka Wangia profunda), is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly 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 35.8%. Zunongwangia profunda is unlikely to be a gut coloniser. (Qin2007)



  • This organism has been recovered from deep-sea sediment, Japan. 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. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Strictly aerobic and low optimum growth conditions suggests this not a gut coloniser.
