Desulfotomaculum Details: NCBI 1562, gram-negative or unknown [genus]

| Desulfotomaculum| Desulfotomaculum Campbell and Postgate 1965

1. Role in anaerobic environments: Desulfotomaculum species are adapted to anaerobic conditions and are known for their ability to metabolize a wide range of organic compounds, including simple sugars, organic acids, and complex polymers. They are particularly important in anaerobic environments such as wetlands and sediments, where they participate in the cycling of carbon, sulfur, and other elements.

2. Ecological significance: While Desulfotomaculum species are primarily associated with environmental habitats, they may transiently colonize the human gastrointestinal tract under certain conditions. Their presence in the gut microbiota may contribute to the fermentation of dietary fibers and other complex carbohydrates, producing metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that can influence gut health and function.

3. Potential probiotic properties: Some Desulfotomaculum species have been investigated for their potential probiotic properties, particularly in the context of animal health and agriculture. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits on the host. While Desulfotomaculum species may not be as extensively studied as other probiotic bacteria, they have been evaluated for their ability to modulate gut microbiota composition, improve digestion, and enhance immune function in animals.

4. Pathogenic potential: While Desulfotomaculum species are generally considered harmless or beneficial, under certain circumstances, they may have the potential to cause infections in humans, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions. However, such cases are rare, and Desulfotomaculum species are not commonly associated with human diseases.

5. Research gaps: Despite their ecological and potential probiotic significance, Desulfotomaculum species remain relatively understudied compared to other bacterial genera. Further research is needed to elucidate their metabolic capabilities, ecological roles, and potential contributions to human health and disease.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Desulfotomaculum

• Frequency - how often do samples show this bacteria
• UD - An alternative statistical algorithm (which factors in the frequency)
• Kaltoft-Moldrup Heuristic Using uploaded data
• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 2 Standard Deviation to Mean + 2 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples (Patent Pending)
