Absicoccus is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria within the family Erysipelotrichaceae. The genus was established in 2020 following the isolation of its type species, Absicoccus porci, from pig feces in South Korea.[1] The genus name Absicoccus is derived from the acronym ABS, referring to the ABS Research Support Centre of the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB), combined with the Latin word coccus, meaning spherical bacterium.
Characteristics
Members of the genus Absicoccus are Gram-positive, non-motile, and non-spore-forming cocci. They are strictly anaerobic and mesophilic, growing optimally at around 37°C. The type species, A. porci, ferments various carbohydrates such as glucose, lactose, and maltose, and displays enzymatic activity including gelatin hydrolysis.[1]
Species
As of July 2025, the genus Absicoccus includes only one validly published species:
