Microbe Identification
Microbe nameAnaeromassilibacillus sp. An250
NCBI Taxonomy ID1965604
DescriptionAnaeromassilibacillus sp. An250 is a recently identified anaerobic bacterium that plays a significant role in the intestinal microflora of animals. This microbe is classified as a chemoheterotroph, which means it derives its energy from organic compounds, primarily through fermentative metabolism. The capabilities of Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An250 to thrive in an anaerobic environment allow it to contribute to the complex microbial ecosystems found in the intestines of various animal species. Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An250 is thought to engage in the fermentation of dietary fibers and other carbohydrates, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as metabolic byproducts. These SCFAs are crucial for maintaining gut health, serving as energy sources for colonic epithelial cells, and contributing to the overall metabolic balance within the host's gut environment.The presence of Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An250 in the gut microflora underscores the importance of microbial diversity in digestion and nutrient absorption processes. Its role in fermentative processes not only aids in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates but also enhances the fermentation capacity of the intestinal ecosystem, influencing the host's health and nutrition. A unique ecological insight regarding Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An250 is its potential ability to interact with other gut microbiota, facilitating cross-feeding relationships that can enhance the overall efficiency of nutrient metabolism. This collaborative interaction may help stabilize gut microbial communities, prevent dysbiosis, and improve the health outcomes of the host.
