Oxalobacter paeniformigenes is a Gram negative, non-spore-forming, oxalate-degrading anaerobic bacterium that was first isolated from human fecal samples.[1] Similar to other species in the Oxalobacter genus, O. paeniformigenes uses oxalate as its primary carbon source.[1] O. paeniformigenes is negative for indole production and negative for sulfate and nitrate reduction.[2] Cells appear rod shaped, though occasionally present as curved, and do not possess flagella.[2]

The Type strain, OxGP1, was isolated from Guinea pig cecal contents.[3]
