Intestinimonas butyriciproducens str. af211

Intestinimonas butyriciproducens strain af211 is a mesophilic, anaerobic bacterium that thrives at an optimal temperature of 37°C. It is classified as a chemoheterotroph, indicating that it derives its energy from organic compounds. This bacterium does not exhibit mobility, although it possesses flagella, which may play a role in its cellular structure or function rather than in movement. Intestinimonas butyriciproducens is nonsporulating and contains a single replicon, suggesting a relatively simple genomic organization. The strain is referenced in the accession NZ_CP011307.1, providing a means for further study and verification of its characteristics. The ecological significance of Intestinimonas butyriciproducens may be linked to its role in anaerobic environments, where it likely participates in the fermentation processes of organic matter. By breaking down organic materials, this bacterium can contribute to nutrient cycling within its habitat, potentially influencing the microbial community structure and the overall functioning of anaerobic ecosystems.
