| Description | Eubacterium cylindroides is a gram-positive, rod-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, categorizing it as a Chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites, including the gut, mouth, and skin, across different species. As an Obligate Anaerobe, Eubacterium cylindroides requires the absence of oxygen to survive and grow, which is reflective of its adaptation to environments with limited oxygen availability. The gram-positive characteristic indicates that the microbe has a thick peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall, providing it with a robust defense mechanism against environmental stresses. Its rod-shaped morphology allows for efficient movement and colonization in its preferred habitats. As a Chemoheterotroph, Eubacterium cylindroides relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon sources, which is consistent with its presence in environments where organic matter is abundant. The microbe's ability to inhabit various body sites, including those with diverse microbial communities, highlights its adaptability and ability to coexist with other microorganisms. Eubacterium cylindroides plays a significant role in the breakdown and utilization of complex organic compounds, contributing to the balance of ecosystems. This microbe has been found to produce short-chain fatty acids, which can have a profound impact on the health and well-being of its host, influencing the gut-brain axis and overall metabolic function. |
