| Description | Prevotellaceae bacterium Marseille-P2826 is a Gram-negative, nonsporulating microbe categorized within the Prevotellaceae family. This bacterium is a chemoheterotroph, deriving its energy from organic compounds, and it predominantly inhabits the intestinal microflora of animals. As a mesophilic organism, it thrives in moderate temperature conditions, although its optimal temperature remains unspecified.The isolation of Prevotellaceae bacterium Marseille-P2826 adds to the understanding of gut microbiota diversity and its influence on host health. Members of the Prevotellaceae family are often implicated in various metabolic processes, including the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, which play a crucial role in digestion and nutrient absorption. These bacteria can also influence the host's immune response and potentially modulate inflammatory processes within the gut. A noteworthy ecological insight is Prevotellaceae bacterium Marseille-P2826's potential role in fiber fermentation. It may contribute to the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are beneficial to colonic health and possess anti-inflammatory properties. This underscores the significance of gut microbiota in maintaining host health and preventing diseases associated with dysbiosis, highlighting the intricate relationship between diet, microbial ecology, and overall well-being in animal hosts. Understanding such bacteria could pave the way for therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring gut health and enhancing the efficacy of nutritional interventions in both veterinary and human medicine. |
