Microbe Identification
Microbe nameRuminococcus bicirculans
NCBI Taxonomy ID1160721
DescriptionStoquefichus massiliensis AP9 is a fascinating microorganism that exhibits a unique set of characteristics. As a mesophile, it has a temperature preference category of 22-37°C, which falls within the moderate temperature range. In terms of metabolism and energy source, Stoquefichus massiliensis AP9 is a chemoheterotroph, meaning it uses organic compounds as its energy source and requires oxygen to produce energy through aerobic respiration. The microbe's energy production is based on the breakdown of complex organic molecules, such as glucose, to produce ATP. Gram-staining shows that Stoquefichus massiliensis AP9 is a gram-negative bacterium, characterized by its thin peptidoglycan layer. In terms of shape, Stoquefichus massiliensis AP9 is a rod-shaped bacterium, typically measuring 0.5-1.5 μm in length. It has been found in a variety of body sites across all species, including the oral cavity, respiratory tract, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. As an obligate aerobe, Stoquefichus massiliensis AP9 requires oxygen to survive and thrive. It is unable to grow in anaerobic environments and is sensitive to low oxygen levels. This characteristic is reflected in its ability to produce large amounts of ATP through aerobic respiration. Stoquefichus massiliensis AP9 has been found to play a role in various physiological processes, including the production of short-chain fatty acids and the breakdown of complex carbohydrates. Furthermore, research has shown that it can interact with the host immune system, influencing the production of cytokines and the activation of immune cells. In addition to its physiological significance, Stoquefichus massiliensis AP9 has been identified as a potential biomarker in various diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease and gynecological disorders. Its presence in specific bodily sites and its metabolic activities have been linked to the development and progression of these conditions.
