| Description | Coriobacteriales bacterium DNF00809 is a chemoheterotrophic microbe known for its distinctive formate metabolism, enabling it to utilize formate as a carbon and energy source. This bacterium belongs to the diverse order of Coriobacteriales, which are predominantly found in anaerobic environments, contributing significantly to the cycling of nutrients in various habitats, including the human gut and other microbiomes. While specific traits such as Gram stain, cell shape, and oxygen requirement remain unspecified, the ecological versatility of Coriobacteriales bacterium DNF00809 allows it to thrive in multiple environments, suggesting adaptability to different ecological niches. Its ability to metabolize formate indicates a specialized role in microbial communities, where it may contribute to the degradation of organic matter and participate in interspecies metabolic interactions, particularly in anaerobic conditions. This bacterium exemplifies the intricate relationships within microbial ecosystems, especially in the human gut, where it may play a role in maintaining microbial balance and facilitating the breakdown of dietary components, ultimately influencing host health. As researchers continue to explore the interactions of Coriobacteriales members, the unique metabolic capabilities of species like DNF00809 highlight the importance of microbial diversity in sustaining ecological functions and promoting homeostasis in complex environments. |
