Microbe Identification
Microbe nameAnaeromassilibacillus sp. An172
NCBI Taxonomy ID1965570
DescriptionAnaeromassilibacillus sp. An172 is a chemoheterotrophic microbe predominantly found within the intestinal microflora of animals. This organism plays a significant role in the gut ecosystem, contributing to the breakdown of complex carbohydrates and other organic materials, thereby aiding digestion and nutrient absorption for its host. The presence of Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An172 in the gut highlights the intricate relationships between various microbial species, as it interacts with other gut flora to maintain a balanced microbial community. Microbial species like Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An172 are essential for fermentative processes, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that serve as energy sources for the host and have anti-inflammatory properties. The metabolic activities of this microbe, along with its capacity to utilize a variety of organic substrates, suggest its adaptive role in varying dietary conditions encountered by animals.The study of Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An172 can provide insights into the influence of gut microbiota on overall health and disease resistance in animals. Its contributions to metabolic processes may also have implications for understanding the gut-brain axis, where microbial metabolites can affect neurological functions. As research into the gut microbiome continues to expand, the role of Anaeromassilibacillus sp. An172 exemplifies the essential nature of gut-residing bacteria in promoting host health and suggests potential applications in probiotic development or therapeutic interventions for gastrointestinal disorders.
