| Description | Marvinbryantia formatexigens is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, categorized as a chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites, including the gut, skin, and respiratory tract, of numerous species. As a chemoheterotroph, M. formatexigens relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, obtained from external sources. This microbe is also an obligate anaerobe, requiring the absence of oxygen to survive, which is reflected in its inability to grow in aerobic environments. The rod-shaped morphology of M. formatexigens allows it to efficiently interact with its surroundings, facilitating the uptake of nutrients and the attachment to host cells. The mesophilic temperature preference of M. formatexigens enables it to thrive in a wide range of environments, from the human body to various terrestrial ecosystems. Its presence in diverse body sites across different species highlights its adaptability and ability to coexist with various hosts. M. formatexigens plays a significant role in the microbial community, contributing to the breakdown of complex organic matter and the production of short-chain fatty acids. The unique characteristics of M. formatexigens have led to its application in biotechnological processes, such as the production of biofuels and the development of novel therapeutic strategies, where its ability to thrive in anaerobic environments and degrade complex organic compounds is leveraged to create innovative solutions. |
