Absicoccus porci is a species of Gram-positive bacteria in the family Erysipelotrichaceae. It is the type species of the genus Absicoccus, first described in 2020 following its isolation from pig feces in Daejeon, South Korea.[1] The species name porci is derived from the Latin genitive of "porcus", meaning "of a pig".
Morphology and physiology
A. porci is a non-motile, non-spore-forming, coccus-shaped bacterium. Cells measure approximately 0.3–0.4 μm in length and 0.2–0.3 μm in width. It is strictly anaerobic and grows optimally at 37 °C and pH 6.5, with a growth range between 30 and 40 °C and pH 5.5–9.0.[1]
