Microbe Identification
Microbe nameEubacterium sp. CAG:274
NCBI Taxonomy ID1262888
DescriptionEubacterium sp. CAG:274 is a Chemoheterotrophic bacterium primarily found in the intestinal microflora of animals. This microbial species plays a significant role in the complex ecosystem of the gut, contributing to the breakdown of dietary fibers and complex carbohydrates. As part of the diverse community of gut microbiota, Eubacterium sp. CAG:274 participates in fermentation processes, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are crucial for gut health and maintaining the integrity of the intestinal barrier. The presence of Eubacterium sp. CAG:274 within the gastrointestinal tract underscores the symbiotic relationships that exist between host animals and their indigenous microbiota. These microbial inhabitants not only assist in digestion but also influence the immune system and protect against pathogenic bacteria. The composition of gut microbiota, including Eubacterium sp. CAG:274, can affect the host's overall health, influencing metabolic processes and potentially reducing the incidence of various diseases. Importantly, research has begun to highlight the significance of Eubacterium species, including CAG:274, in the context of human health, particularly regarding their potential role in addressing metabolic disorders such as obesity and insulin resistance. As researchers continue to investigate the roles of specific gut microbes, Eubacterium sp. CAG:274 may provide insights into therapeutic approaches aimed at modulating gut health through dietary or probiotic interventions, emphasizing the profound interconnections between microbiota composition and host health.
