Microbe Identification
Microbe nameCloacibacillus evryensis
NCBI Taxonomy ID508460
DescriptionCloacibacillus evryensis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium classified as a mesophile, thriving best at moderate temperatures, and is identified as a heterotroph. This microorganism is predominantly found in the gastrointestinal tract of various animals, including mammals and birds, as well as in fecal matter and associated environments.As a Gram-negative bacterium, Cloacibacillus evryensis possesses a thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides, which contribute to its overall structure and may influence its pathogenic potential. The rod shape allows for efficient movement through liquid environments, aiding in its colonization within the complex flora of the gut. Being a mesophile, this microbe prefers moderate temperatures typically ranging between 20 to 45 degrees Celsius, which aligns closely with the thermal conditions of warm-blooded hosts. As a heterotroph, Cloacibacillus evryensis derives its energy from organic compounds, showcasing its role in the digestive processes of its host organisms. This metabolic adaptability enables it to thrive in nutrient-rich environments typically found in the intestines, where it participates in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates and contributes to the overall microbial ecosystem balance. Research has revealed that Cloacibacillus evryensis may play a significant role in the digestion and fermentation processes within the gastrointestinal tract, further aiding digestion and nutrient absorption. Additionally, its presence in various animal species suggests a wider ecological niche, indicating its potential significance in the study of gut microbiomes and their influence on the health and disease states of hosts. The metabolic versatility and ecological relevance of this bacterium position it as an intriguing subject for further microbiological study.
