Akkermansia muciniphila is a human intestinal symbiont, isolated from human feces.[2] It is a mucin-degrading bacterium belonging to the genus Akkermansia, discovered in 2004 by Muriel Derrien and Willem de Vos at Wageningen University of the Netherlands.[3][2]: 1474  It belongs to the phylum Verrucomicrobiota and its type strain is MucT (=ATCC BAA-835T =CIP 107961T).[2] It is under preliminary research for its potential association with metabolic disorders.[4][5][6]
