Microbe Identification
Microbe nameSelenomonas noxia
NCBI Taxonomy ID135083
DescriptionEnterococcus moraviensis is a Gram-positive, spherical-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, classified as a chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and skin, across different species. As a facultative anaerobe, Enterococcus moraviensis can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, making it a versatile microorganism.The Gram-positive characteristic of Enterococcus moraviensis indicates that it has a thick peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall, which provides resistance to certain antibiotics and environmental stresses. Its spherical shape, also known as cocci, allows it to withstand various physical pressures and adhere to surfaces. As a mesophilic microbe, Enterococcus moraviensis grows best in moderate temperatures, typically between 20-45°C, making it well-suited for inhabiting the human body. As a chemoheterotroph, Enterococcus moraviensis relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, which it obtains from its environment. This characteristic enables the microbe to thrive in diverse ecological niches, including soil, water, and the human body. The ability of Enterococcus moraviensis to inhabit various body sites and species is attributed to its adaptability and resistance to environmental stresses.Enterococcus moraviensis has been isolated from various environments, including soil, water, and the human body, and has been found to play a role in the decomposition of organic matter and the fermentation of certain compounds. It is also capable of producing bacteriocins, which are antimicrobial peptides that can inhibit the growth of other microorganisms, making it a significant component of the microbial community.
