Microbe Identification
Microbe nameRubeoparvulum massiliense
NCBI Taxonomy ID1631346
DescriptionRubeoparvulum massiliense is a nonsporulating bacterium classified within the family of microorganisms found predominantly in the gut of hosts, reflecting its ecological niche as a gut symbiont. This microbe is recognized as a chemoheterotroph, which signifies its reliance on organic compounds for energy and carbon sources, a trait that facilitates its survival and proliferation in the complex microbial ecosystem of the gastrointestinal tract.Originally isolated from human feces, Rubeoparvulum massiliense contributes to the intricate balance of gut flora, playing a potential role in human health by influencing digestion and nutrient absorption. Its presence can indicate shifts in the microbial community, which may be associated with various health conditions, thereby serving as a potential biomarker for gut health assessments.Research into Rubeoparvulum massiliense may yield insights into the interactions between gut microbiota and host metabolism, particularly as gut health is increasingly recognized as pivotal to overall well-being. The study of this microbe emphasizes the importance of understanding symbiotic relationships in the gut, providing a unique perspective on how specific microbial species, like Rubeoparvulum massiliense, can impact host physiology and contribute to broader ecological dynamics within the microbiome. Furthermore, this bacterium may have implications for personalized medicine, especially in dietary interventions aimed at optimizing gut health and preventing gastrointestinal disorders.
