| Description | Coprobacillus sp. D7 is a gram-positive, rod-shaped microbe that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, categorized as a chemoheterotroph, and can be found in various body sites across different species, including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and respiratory system, of humans, animals, and insects. As a chemoheterotroph, Coprobacillus sp. D7 relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, breaking down complex molecules to sustain its growth. This microbe is a facultative anaerobe, capable of surviving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, allowing it to adapt to diverse ecological niches. The gram-positive cell wall of Coprobacillus sp. D7 provides structural support and protection, while its rod shape enables efficient movement and colonization of new environments. Mesophilic temperatures, typically ranging from 20-45°C, allow Coprobacillus sp. D7 to grow and reproduce optimally. Its presence in various body sites across different species highlights its ability to form symbiotic relationships with hosts, contributing to the degradation of organic matter and the recycling of nutrients. The ability of Coprobacillus sp. D7 to produce volatile fatty acids as byproducts of fermentation has led to its exploration in biotechnological applications, such as the production of biofuels and the development of novel therapeutics. |
