Target Introduction
Introduction
Bacteroides is a group of promising candidates that has attracted major attentions from scientists as model organisms or community for the investigations of the intestinal microbiota field, due to their powerful adaption characteristics in the host and especially the underlying benefits. Bacteroides is a genus of Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacteria. Bacteroides species are non endospore-forming bacilli, and may be either motile or nonmotile, depending on the species. Bacteroides; order is the most abundant group of Gram-negative bacteria which flourish in the human intestine at high densities of 109-1011 CFU per gram of feces, and constitutes over 30 species which are more closely related than members in other bacteria orders. And, Bacteroides is considered as one of the major genera of the core microbiota module, of which species with relative abundance of over 1% refers to B. uniformis, B. vulgatus, B. caccae, and B. thetaiotaomicron. In addition to the unique physiological characteristics and the special ecological dynamics, Bacteroides species are under investigations for their underlying beneficial dialogues with the host. Bacteroides species to be considered as next-generation probiotics, and the application of which in prevention or intervention in dysbiosis of gut microbiota and the associated disorders requires further investigations in the modulatory mechanisms and safety evaluation. Bacteroides is one of the dominant contributors of SCFA among the intestinal commensals, mostly in the form of acetate and propionate. Accumulated acetate blocks the transportation of toxins between gut lumen and blood, while propionate is capable of inducing the apoptosis of human colon carcinoma cells, and thus avoids the formation of tumors. Moreover, Vitamin K, which is mainly synthesized by gut microbiota candidates such as Bacteroides, can help prevent or treat osteoporosis by increasing bone mineral density.

FAQs Customer Reviews Related Products
How does Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron interact with the immune system?
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron interacts with the host's immune system in several ways, including the modulation of immune responses through mechanisms like the production of regulatory dendritic cell responses via its outer membrane vesicles. This interaction is vital for maintaining intestinal homeostasis and can influence immune tolerance.
What are the optimal growth conditions for Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron?
For optimal growth, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron should be cultured under strict anaerobic conditions at 37°C. It thrives in media that simulate the nutrient-rich environment of the gut, often requiring complex growth supplements including blood or hemin.
How can the growth and metabolic activity of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron be quantitatively assessed in the lab?
Growth can be monitored by measuring optical density at 600 nm, while metabolic activity may be assessed through assays that quantify the production of short-chain fatty acids or other metabolic products. Advanced techniques like gas chromatography may be used for detailed metabolic profiling.
Can Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron be genetically modified for specific research purposes?
Yes, genetic modification techniques are available for Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. These include methods like CRISPR-Cas9 and other gene editing tools, which can be employed to study gene function or to create strains with desirable traits for further research.
Can Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron be used in biotechnological applications?
Yes, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is valuable in biotechnological research due to its capabilities in polysaccharide breakdown, making it a model organism for studying gut microbiota interactions and the development of microbial therapeutics aimed at treating digestive diseases.
