Anaerobutyricum hallii strain AM48-23BH

Anaerobutyricum hallii strain AM48-23BH is a Gram-positive, non-motile, anaerobic bacterium classified as a chemoheterotroph. This strain thrives in diverse habitats, exhibiting an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, which falls within the mesophilic temperature range. Anaerobutyricum hallii strain AM48-23BH has a single replicon and is nonsporulating, indicating it does not form spores for survival under unfavorable conditions. In terms of mobility, this strain lacks flagella, which corresponds to its non-motile nature. It is primarily associated with Homo sapiens, suggesting a potential role in the human microbiome. The presence of this bacterium in human hosts highlights its possible contributions to human health and digestion, particularly in anaerobic environments such as the gastrointestinal tract. The ecological insight from the characteristics of Anaerobutyricum hallii strain AM48-23BH emphasizes its adaptation to anaerobic habitats and its role as a chemoheterotroph, relying on organic sources of carbon and energy. This bacterium may contribute to the fermentation processes within the human gut microbiome, potentially influencing metabolic pathways and overall gut health. The accession number for this strain is QSEP00000000.1, which may provide further insights into its genomic features and functional capabilities.
