Gibbsiella papilionis Kim et al. 2013.
Gram-negative rods, 1.1-1.5 x 3.0-6.0 µm. Non-motile. Non-spore-forming.
Colonies on TSA medium are circular, opaque with a cream colour, smooth and
convex. Growth occurs at temperatures between 4 and 37 ºC, 0-5% (w/v) NaCl and pH
5-9. Optimum growth conditions are pH 8-9, in the presence of 1% (w/v) NaCl and at
37 ºC.  Facultatively anaerobic.
Isolated from the oral cavity of bears (Ursus thibetanus). The former Gibbsiella papilionis strain was isolated from the intestinal tract
of the butterfly
Mycalesis gotama.
Undetermined. May be involved in dental caries as it produces exopolysaccharide from sucrose, similarly to Streptococcus mutans.
