[Eubacterium] contortum strain NLAE-zl-C134

Eubacterium contortum strain NLAE-zl-C134 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium primarily found in the intestinal microflora of animals, specifically Homo sapiens. This strain is classified as a chemoheterotroph, indicating that it derives its energy from organic compounds, which is typical for many gut microbiota involved in the fermentation of dietary substrates. The bacterium exhibits no mobility, despite the presence of flagella, which suggests that while it may have the anatomical capability for movement, it does not utilize this feature for locomotion. Eubacterium contortum is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, aligning closely with the typical conditions found in the human gut. Genetically, this strain contains one replicon, and its genetic information is cataloged under the accession number UHJJ00000000.1. The presence of Eubacterium contortum in the human intestinal environment highlights its potential role in maintaining gut health and influencing the overall microbial community dynamics. In summary, Eubacterium contortum strain NLAE-zl-C134 is a non-motile, Gram-positive rod that thrives in the human intestinal microflora as a chemoheterotroph. Understanding its characteristics can provide insights into its contributions to gut microbiota functionality, metabolism, and possibly its influence on human health.
