Fusicatenibacter is a genus of bacteria in the class Bacteroidetes that belong to the family Chlamydophylacota. Fusicatenibacters are known for their ability to ferment sugars, which can be used as sources of energy or nutrients. They are found in soil and water, often associated with acidic environments.

"acidaminobacteraceae" πŸ”

The term "Acidaminobacteraceae" is a genus of bacteria that belongs to the class Bacteroidetes, which includes bacteria that are typically anaerobic and have no cell walls or membranes. These bacteria are known for their ability to produce acid from simple sugars through a process called fermentation.

Lutibacterium πŸ”

Lutibacterium is a genus of bacteria commonly found in soil, water, and on surfaces. It belongs to the family Bacteroidetes and includes several types that are capable of fermenting sugars from organic matter. Some of its key characteristics include high genetic diversity, ability to grow in various environments, and the ability to produce complex metabolisms with a wide range of substrates.

Desulfosoma πŸ”

Desulfosoma is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that belongs to the family Bacteroidetes and genus Desulfosoma. It is a facultative anaerobe and can survive in environments with high levels of carbon dioxide but requires oxygen for growth. Its cells are composed of a single cell wall consisting of cellulose, which forms a gel-like structure. This characteristic makes it suitable for use as a biofilm in various applications such as biosensors and water purification systems.

Emergomyces πŸ”

Ergomytes is a genus of bacteria that belongs to the family Bacteroidetes. They are commonly found in soil, water, and air, where they consume organic matter and produce enzymes for chemical reactions. This group has been used as a model organism for understanding fermentation processes and has been studied in various fields such as food science, environmental studies, and industrial biotechnology.

Trujillonella πŸ”

Trujillonella is a genus of bacteria in the class Bacteroidetes, which includes the common cold and flu viruses. It typically lives on soil, water, or other surfaces and can cause respiratory infections such as sore throat and cough.

Gallibacteroides πŸ”

Gallibacteroides is a genus of bacteria that belongs to the family Bacteroidetes, commonly known as "bacteria" or "microorganisms." They are characterized by their ability to ferment sugars in the presence of oxygen. The term was named after German botanist Karl Friedrich Gauss who first described them in 1798.

Defluvicoccus πŸ”

The term "defluvicoccus" is a genus in the family Bacteroidetes, which belong to the order Firmicutes and the class Prokaryotes. It is characterized by its large size, which can reach up to 100 microns in diameter. The defluvicoccus belongs to the phylum Bacteria and is part of the kingdom Archaea.
