Mucispirillum schaedleri ASF457

Mucispirillum schaedleri ASF457 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium classified as anaerobic, indicating that it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. This organism is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, which aligns with the temperature typically found in the mammalian gut, where it is likely to inhabit. Mucispirillum schaedleri features a single replicon and is characterized as non-spore-forming, suggesting a reliance on stable environmental conditions for survival and proliferation. The accession number for this bacterium is NZ_CP097562.1, which can be used for further research and identification in genomic databases. Ecologically, Mucispirillum schaedleri may play a significant role in the gut microbiome of hosts, particularly in the context of maintaining gut health and influencing host metabolism. Its anaerobic nature and mesophilic growth conditions suggest that it is adapted to the intestinal environment, contributing to the complex interplay of microbial communities that support digestion and nutrient absorption. Understanding the specific functions and interactions of Mucispirillum schaedleri within the gut ecosystem could provide insights into its potential benefits or implications for host health.
