| Description | Coprococcus sp. ART55/1 is a microbe that thrives in a temperature range of psychrophilic, preferring temperatures between 4°C to 20°C. It is a chemoheterotroph, utilizing organic compounds as its energy source. This microbe produces energy through fermentation, which is a anaerobic process. The Gram stain characteristic of Coprococcus sp. ART55/1 is Gram-positive, indicating that the cell wall is thick and contains a high amount of peptidoglycan. The shape of this microbe is oval to spherical, with a size range of 0.5-1.5 μm. As a species of the genus Coprococcus, it is typically found in the gut of animals, and specifically in the human gut. However, it can also be isolated from other body sites such as the oral cavity, skin, and respiratory tract. Coprococcus sp. ART55/1 is an obligate anaerobe, meaning that it cannot survive in the presence of oxygen and is instead adapted to thrive in environments with low oxygen levels. This microbe plays a crucial role in the gut ecosystem, contributing to the breakdown of complex organic compounds and the production of short-chain fatty acids. The ability of Coprococcus sp. ART55/1 to survive and thrive in a variety of environments makes it an important component of the human microbiome. |
