Anaerosphaera aminiphila DSM 21120

Anaerosphaera aminiphila DSM 21120 is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, non-motile bacterium characterized by its spherical shape. It is classified as a spore-forming organism, which indicates its ability to produce spores for survival in unfavorable conditions. This species thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C and falls within the mesophilic range, indicating its preference for moderate temperatures. Anaerosphaera aminiphila is primarily found in the habitat of stool, suggesting its role in the gut microbiota of animals, potentially including humans. The presence of this bacterium in the gastrointestinal tract highlights its possible involvement in the metabolic processes related to amino acid fermentation, given its name "aminiphila," which implies a relationship with amino acids. The organism possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure that may facilitate efficient replication and survival in its anaerobic environment. The accession number FQXI00000000.1 is associated with its genetic data, providing a reference for further studies. In summary, Anaerosphaera aminiphila DSM 21120 exemplifies the diversity of anaerobic bacteria found in the gut, contributing to the complex interactions within the microbiome. Its spore-forming capability and adaptation to mesophilic conditions underscore its resilience and potential significance in the digestive processes of its host organisms.
