| Description | Subdoligranulum variabile is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, classified as a Chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites, including the gut, skin, and respiratory tract, across different species. As a Gram-positive microbe, its cell wall retains the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining procedure, indicating a thick peptidoglycan layer. The rod shape of Subdoligranulum variabile allows it to maintain its structural integrity while navigating through different environments. Its mesophilic temperature preference suggests that it grows best in moderate temperatures, typically between 20-45°C. As a Chemoheterotroph, Subdoligranulum variabile relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, breaking down complex molecules to sustain its metabolic processes. This microbe can be found in various body sites, highlighting its adaptability and ability to colonize different niches. Subdoligranulum variabile is an Obligate Anaerobe, requiring the absence of oxygen to grow and survive, which is consistent with its presence in low-oxygen environments such as the gut. The microbe's ability to thrive in these environments is likely due to its unique metabolic capabilities, allowing it to play a significant role in the digestive processes of its host. Subdoligranulum variabile has been implicated in the production of short-chain fatty acids, which can have a profound impact on the health and well-being of its host, influencing the balance of the gut microbiome and potentially affecting the development of various diseases. |
