Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain LTH2584

Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain LTH2584 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a chain-like cell arrangement. It is classified as a facultative anaerobe, indicating that it can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen. This strain is heterotrophic, obtaining its energy from organic compounds, which allows it to inhabit a variety of environments. Strain LTH2584 is mesophilic, meaning it prefers moderate temperature ranges for optimal growth. It possesses one membrane and a single replicon, which are characteristic features of its cellular structure. Notably, this strain does not exhibit mobility, as it lacks flagella. Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain LTH2584 is free-living and has been found to associate with a diverse array of hosts, including various mammals and birds, such as Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (domestic chickens), Sus scrofa (domestic pigs), and several species within the Rodentia order. This broad host range suggests that strain LTH2584 may play a significant role in the microbiota of these organisms, potentially influencing their health and physiology. The presence of Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain LTH2584 across multiple habitats and its association with various metazoan hosts underline its ecological versatility. This strain may contribute to gut health and microbial balance, highlighting the importance of lactobacilli in maintaining the well-being of diverse organisms.
