Parabrachypoda 🔍

Parabrachypoda are a group of microorganisms that belong to the order Micrococcidiaceae and are characterized by their ability to produce a single, complex enzyme called parabosidase, which is responsible for breaking down the key component of paraboside, a protein found in the saliva of certain mammals. They are also known for their role in producing the protective layer around the mouth's upper lip, known as the parabolus.
