| Description | Eubacterium biforme is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, categorized as a Chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites across different species, including the gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, and skin. As an Obligate Anaerobe, Eubacterium biforme requires a strict absence of oxygen to grow and survive. The Gram-positive characteristic indicates that the microbe's cell wall retains the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining procedure, resulting in a purple appearance under a microscope. The rod-shaped morphology is typical of many bacterial species, allowing for efficient movement and absorption of nutrients. As a Chemoheterotroph, Eubacterium biforme relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones to sustain its metabolic processes. Its presence in various body sites suggests a versatile and adaptive nature, enabling it to colonize and thrive in diverse environments. The mesophilic temperature preference category indicates that Eubacterium biforme grows best in moderate temperatures, typically between 20-45°C. Eubacterium biforme plays a significant role in the fermentation of complex carbohydrates, producing short-chain fatty acids that contribute to the host's energy metabolism, and its unique metabolic capabilities have led to research into its potential applications in biotechnology and medicine, particularly in the development of novel therapeutics and diagnostic tools. |
