[Eubacterium] yurii subsp. margaretiae ATCC 43715

Eubacterium yurii subsp. margaretiae ATCC 43715 is a nonsporulating, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives under anaerobic conditions, with an optimal growth temperature of 37.0°C. As a chemoheterotroph, this microbe derives its energy from organic compounds, relying on the breakdown of complex organic matter for its metabolic needs. E. yurii subsp. margaretiae is known to inhabit multiple environments, suggesting a versatile ecological role. Its anaerobic nature indicates that it likely occupies niches where oxygen is limited or absent, potentially contributing to various biogeochemical processes, such as organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in anaerobic ecosystems. The adaptability of E. yurii subsp. margaretiae to different habitats underscores its potential significance in microbial communities, where it may interact with other microorganisms and contribute to the maintenance of ecosystem functions. Understanding the ecological roles of such bacteria can help elucidate their contributions to soil health, fermentation processes, and anaerobic digestion systems.
