| Description | Myroides odoratimimus is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, exhibiting chemoheterotrophic metabolism, where it obtains energy by breaking down organic compounds, and produces energy through aerobic respiration, capable of inhabiting various body sites in humans, animals, and environmental sources, and is an obligate aerobe, requiring oxygen to survive.
As a Gram-negative bacterium, Myroides odoratimimus has a unique outer membrane structure, which provides it with resistance to certain antibiotics and environmental stresses.
Its rod-shaped morphology allows it to maintain a large surface area, facilitating the uptake of nutrients and interaction with its environment.
The mesophilic temperature preference of Myroides odoratimimus enables it to grow and thrive in a wide range of temperatures, from 20-40°C, making it a versatile microorganism.
As a chemoheterotroph, Myroides odoratimimus relies on the breakdown of organic compounds to produce energy, which is then generated through aerobic respiration, involving the transfer of electrons to oxygen, resulting in the production of ATP.
The ability of Myroides odoratimimus to inhabit various body sites, including skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs, in humans, animals, and environmental sources, highlights its adaptability and potential to cause infections.
The obligate aerobe nature of Myroides odoratimimus necessitates the presence of oxygen for its survival, which is essential for its energy production and metabolic processes.
Myroides odoratimimus has been isolated from various environments, including soil, water, and air, and has been implicated in several diseases, including respiratory and urinary tract infections, and has also been found to have potential applications in bioremediation and biotechnology, due to its ability to degrade toxic compounds and produce valuable metabolites. |
