| Description | The Erysipelotrichaceae bacterium 3_1_53 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 across all possible species, including the skin, gut, and respiratory tract, and is an Obligate Anaerobe. As a Gram-positive bacterium, its cell wall is composed of a thick layer of peptidoglycan, which provides rigidity and maintains its rod-like shape. The mesophilic temperature preference of this microbe allows it to grow best in moderate temperatures, typically between 20-45°C, making it well-suited to inhabit various environments. As a Chemoheterotroph, the Erysipelotrichaceae bacterium 3_1_53 relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, obtaining these nutrients by breaking down complex molecules. Its presence in diverse body sites suggests a versatile and adaptable nature, capable of colonizing and thriving in different ecological niches. The obligate anaerobic characteristic of this microbe necessitates the absence of oxygen for growth, highlighting its intolerance to oxidative stress. This bacterium has been found to play a significant role in the breakdown of complex polysaccharides in the gut, contributing to the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and its unique metabolic capabilities have led to research into its potential applications in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. |
