Mobiluncus porci is a curved, motile, Gram-positive and strictly anaerobic bacterium in the genus Mobiluncus (family Actinomycetaceae). It was originally isolated from the feces of an Aachen minipig in Germany and described as a novel species in 2020.[1]
Ecology
The species is part of the normal porcine gut microbiota and was first recovered from healthy pig feces.[1] It has also been isolated from stallion semen.[2]
