Microbe Identification
Microbe nameNegativicoccus succinicivorans DORA_17_25
NCBI Taxonomy ID1403945
DescriptionNegativicoccus succinicivorans DORA_17_25 is a notable member of the microbiota due to its unique metabolic capabilities. This bacterium is characterized as a nonsporulating, chemoheterotrophic organism, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds rather than photosynthesis or inorganic substrates. While specific details on its morphology and cell arrangement remain undefined, its classification indicates potential fascinating structural traits that align with its ecological role. The ecological niche of Negativicoccus succinicivorans DORA_17_25 is particularly intriguing; it thrives in various microenvironments, likely contributing to the degradation of organic matter. Its metabolic processes may play a critical role in biogeochemical cycles, especially in the breakdown of complex organic materials within anaerobic or microaerophilic environments. One of the unique biological insights into Negativicoccus succinicivorans DORA_17_25 lies in its potential symbiotic relationships with other microorganisms. Given its ability to utilize a variety of organic substrates, it may facilitate interspecies interactions, enhancing nutrient availability and promoting community stability. This trait underscores the importance of microbial diversity in ecosystem functionality, where even less-characterized species contribute significantly to the overall health and sustainability of their habitats. The study of such organisms sheds light on the intricate web of life that characterizes microbial ecosystems, emphasizing the need for continuous exploration in microbiology.
