Methanobrevibacter Smithii
''Methanobrevibacter smithii'' is the predominant archaeon in the microbiota of the human gut. ''M. smithii'' has a coccobacillus shape. It plays an important role in the efficient digestion of polysaccharides (complex sugars) by consuming the end products of bacterial fermentation. ''Methanobrevibacter smithii'' is a single-celled microorganism from the Archaea domain. ''M. smithii'' is a methanogen, and a hydrogenotroph that recycles the hydrogen by combining it with carbon dioxide to methane. The removal of hydrogen by ''M. smithii'' is thought to allow an increase in the extraction of energy from nutrients by shifting bacterial fermentation to more oxidized end products. Importance in the human gut The human gut microbiota consists of three main groups of hydrogen-consuming microorganisms or hydrogenotrophs: methanogens including ''M. smithii''; various acetogenic bacteria; and sulfate-reducing bacteria. The different roles of these microorganisms are helpful in un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
