The environment of the Eggerthella Lenta leads to gastrointestinal tract infections. Some cases includes "severe, disseminated" disease and the mortality rate is high from 36% to 43%. ]]> 2020-02-29 20:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452447132 tbensheimer https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452449441 "Here, we characterize a molybdenum-dependent enzyme from the human gut bacterium Eggerthella lenta that dehydroxylates catecholamine neurotransmitters. Our findings suggest that this activity enables E. lenta to use dopamine as an electron acceptor. We also identify candidate dehydroxylases that metabolize additional host- and plant-derived catechols that are relevant to a broad range of species and habitats."]]> 2020-02-29 20:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452449441 tbensheimer https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452450501 Kingdom: | Bacteria

Most Eubacteria from the oral cavity are relatively biochemically inactive. In most cases, cells test negative for catalase and do not hydrolyze hippurate.]]> 2020-02-29 21:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452452335 tbensheimer https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452453084 Eubacterium Limosum may positively contribute to the health of the human intestine that may have inflammation, or it is aged. Eubacterium Limosum has anti-inflammatory traits and is able to transform dietary isoflavonoids into other phytoestrogens. ]]> 2020-02-29 21:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452453084 tbensheimer https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452454634 "Eubacterium limosum is one of the important bacteria in C₁ feedstock utilization as well as in human gut microbiota. Although E. limosum has recently garnered much attention and investigation on a genome-wide scale, a bottleneck for systematic engineering in E. limosum is the lack of available genetic tools and an efficient genome editing platform. To overcome this limitation, we here report expanded genetic tools and the CRISPR-Cas9 system."]]> 2020-02-29 21:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452454634 tbensheimer https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452455091 The phylogenetic tree shows the Kingella Kingae is closest related to Neisseria lactamica due to both being gram negative anaerobes. There closest cousins include Cardiobacterium hominis and Haemophilus Influenzae. The farthest distance related cousines are the Johnsonella ignava and the cardiobacterium hominis and its closest cousins due to how many "generation spreads there are.]]> 2020-02-29 21:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/452455091 tbensheimer https://padlet.com/tbensheimer/jk5o63l6d87e/wish/456175649 I thought how amazing it was that we have the ability to look up some very minute organism and find it's genotype within seconds. It is also amazing that connections can be made and find similarities and differences in each microbial species and such. It makes me wonder what other things are able to be accomplished in the future.
