Microbe Identification
Microbe nameDysosmobacter sp. BX15
NCBI Taxonomy ID2763042
DescriptionDysosmobacter sp. BX15 is a chemoheterotrophic microbe predominantly found in the gut of various host organisms. This bacterium plays a pivotal role in the complex microbiota present in the gastrointestinal tract, contributing to the breakdown and fermentation of organic substrates derived from the host's diet. The gut environment, marked by a rich array of nutrients and diverse microbial interactions, provides an optimal setting for Dysosmobacter sp. BX15 to thrive. While specific characteristics such as Gram staining, cell shape, and oxygen requirements remain undetermined, the metabolic capabilities of Dysosmobacter sp. BX15 highlight its adaptability within the gut ecosystem. Chemoheterotrophs like this species utilize organic compounds sourced from the host and surrounding microbial community, thereby participating actively in nutrient cycling and energy flow within the gut environment. The presence of Dysosmobacter sp. BX15 underscores the intricate relationships among gut microbiota, host health, and metabolic functioning. As part of a larger microbial consortium, it potentially aids in processes such as digestion and absorption of nutrients, and may influence host immune responses. The unique ecological insight into Dysosmobacter sp. BX15 is its potential role in shaping the gut microbial landscape, where variations in its abundance could impact the overall health and metabolic profile of the host, suggesting that disturbances in its population may be linked to gastrointestinal disorders.
