Thiomonas Details: NCBI 32012, gram-negative or unknown [genus]

| Thiomonas| Thiomonas Moreira and Amils 1997 emend. Kelly et al. 2007

1. Environmental significance: Thiomonas species are often found in environments rich in sulfur, such as acidic mine drainage, hydrothermal vents, and sulfidic soils. They play important roles in sulfur cycling and mineral oxidation, contributing to the biogeochemical processes of these ecosystems. While their environmental activities have ecological significance, their direct impact on human health is limited.

2. Bioremediation: Some Thiomonas species have been studied for their potential applications in bioremediation of contaminated environments. These bacteria are capable of oxidizing sulfur compounds and metabolizing heavy metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, and copper, which are common pollutants in mining and industrial wastewater. Thiomonas species may contribute to the detoxification and removal of heavy metals from contaminated sites, thereby reducing environmental pollution and human exposure to toxic substances.

3. Pathogenic potential: While Thiomonas species are not commonly associated with human infections, some strains have been isolated from clinical samples and may have the potential to cause opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions. However, specific research on the pathogenicity of Thiomonas bacteria in humans is limited, and their role as human pathogens remains poorly understood.

4. Metal resistance: Thiomonas species are known for their resistance to heavy metals, which is conferred by various mechanisms, including efflux pumps, metal-binding proteins, and detoxification enzymes. This metal resistance may have implications for human health in industrial and environmental settings where heavy metal contamination is a concern. Exposure to high concentrations of heavy metals can have adverse health effects, including neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and reproductive toxicity.

5. Potential probiotic properties: While not extensively studied for their probiotic potential, some Thiomonas species may have beneficial effects on environmental health and ecosystem functioning. These bacteria contribute to sulfur cycling, mineral oxidation, and metal detoxification, which indirectly influence human health by maintaining ecosystem services and environmental quality.

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 Thiomonas

• 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)
