Introduction | The Eggerthellaceae are a family of Gram-positive, rod- or coccus-shaped Actinobacteria. It is the sole family within the order Eggerthellales. Members of this family are mostly anaerobic, non-motile, asaccharolytic and do not form spores. Eggerthellaceae species are commonly isolated from human and animal faeces and other human sources such as the colon, vagina, oral cavity and blood. |
Alternative Names | Cryptobacterium curtum; 55333T |
Cryptobacterium curtum; 55333T thrives in anaerobic environments with a temperature of 37°C. Utilizing a growth medium like Chocolate agar supplemented with appropriate nutrients ensures optimal bacterial proliferation. Maintaining strict anaerobic conditions is essential for consistent experimental outcomes.
Cryptobacterium curtum; 55333T is employed in gut microbiome studies to investigate its role in maintaining intestinal health and its interactions with other microbiota. Researchers inoculate it in animal models to study its effects on gut flora composition and host health, providing insights into its probiotic potential.
Quantification of Cryptobacterium curtum; 55333T in samples is typically achieved using quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting specific genetic markers. Additionally, colony-forming unit (CFU) counts on selective media under anaerobic conditions offer an alternative method for accurate quantification.
To maintain the viability of Cryptobacterium curtum; 55333T, it should be handled under anaerobic conditions using specialized equipment like anaerobic chambers or gas packs. Minimizing exposure to oxygen and ensuring rapid processing of samples are critical to preserving bacterial integrity.
Cryptobacterium curtum; 55333T has a unique genome with genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, stress response, and biofilm formation. These features make it an interesting subject for research on microbial ecology, pathogenicity, and potential therapeutic applications in modulating gut health.
