Dialister succinatiphilus YIT 11850

Dialister succinatiphilus YIT 11850 is a gram-negative, short 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 human oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. As an obligate anaerobe, this microbe requires a strict anaerobic environment to survive, which is reflected in its inability to grow in the presence of oxygen. The gram-negative characteristic is indicative of its cell wall structure, which consists of a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer lipid bilayer containing lipopolysaccharides. The short rod shape allows for efficient movement and nutrient uptake in its environment. As a chemoheterotroph, Dialister succinatiphilus YIT 11850 relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, which it obtains from its surroundings. Its presence in various body sites suggests a commensal or symbiotic relationship with its host, where it contributes to the breakdown and utilization of complex organic matter. The mesophilic temperature preference of this microbe allows it to thrive in temperatures ranging from 20-45°C, making it well-suited to the human body's normal temperature range. Dialister succinatiphilus YIT 11850 has been found to produce succinic acid as a major metabolic product, which has potential applications in the production of biodegradable plastics and other industrial materials.
