| Description | Anaerococcus jeddahensis is a Gram-positive, nonsporulating cocci bacterium that thrives in anaerobic environments. This microbe falls under the category of chemoheterotrophs, indicating that it obtains its energy from organic compounds, relying on a variety of substrates for growth. Although the specific optimal temperature for its growth remains unknown, it is characterized as mesophilic, meaning it flourishes in moderate temperature ranges typically between 20°C and 45°C. The exact arrangement of cells in their natural state remains unspecified, but members of the genus *Anaerococcus* are often found in clusters or pairs, reflecting their coccal shape. *Anaerococcus jeddahensis* has been isolated from various habitats, including human gastrointestinal tracts, indicating its role as part of the normal gut microbiota, as well as potential implications in human health and disease. An intriguing aspect of *Anaerococcus jeddahensis* is its contribution to the human microbiome, particularly in relation to gut health and the potential modulation of inflammatory responses. The presence of this bacterium and other anaerobes in the gut underscores the complex interplay of microbial communities that influence metabolic processes and immune function, highlighting the importance of anaerobic bacteria in maintaining overall health. |
