Microbe Identification
Microbe nameLachnoanaerobaculum saburreum
NCBI Taxonomy ID467210
DescriptionLachnoanaerobaculum saburreum is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, categorized as a Chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and oral cavity, across different species. As an Obligate Anaerobe, Lachnoanaerobaculum saburreum requires the absence of oxygen to survive and grow. The Gram-positive characteristic is indicative of a thick peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall, providing structural support and protection. Its rod-shaped morphology allows for efficient movement and colonization in its environment. The mesophilic temperature preference suggests that it grows best in moderate temperatures, typically between 20-45°C. As a Chemoheterotroph, Lachnoanaerobulum saburreum relies on chemical reactions and external organic matter for energy and nutrition. The presence of Lachnoanaerobaculum saburreum in various body sites across different species highlights its adaptability and ability to form symbiotic relationships with its hosts. Its absence of oxygen requirement is a key factor in its ability to colonize areas with low oxygen levels, such as the gastrointestinal tract. The obligate anaerobic nature of Lachnoanaerobaculum saburreum also makes it susceptible to oxygen-based antimicrobial therapies. Lachnoanaerobaculum saburreum has been found to play a significant role in the degradation of complex carbohydrates and production of short-chain fatty acids, which can have a profound impact on the health and balance of its host's microbiome. Its unique characteristics and abilities make it a subject of ongoing research, particularly in the context of its potential applications in biotechnology and medicine, where its enzymatic capabilities could be harnessed to develop novel therapeutic strategies.
