Mycolicibacter algericus (formerly Mycobacterium algericum[2]) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota that was first isolated from the lung lesion of a goat.[1] It is non-pigmented and grows slowly at 25–42 °C on Löwenstein–Jensen medium.[4] It has also been isolated from freshwater fish,[5] fresh produce,[6] water treatment plant sludge,[7] and a natural cave.[8]
