Clostridium ⇒ Taurinivorans muris {50002759} Record Keys Parent:Clostridium Definition:Taurinivorans muris Details Initialisation date:[ ] Meta Information Rank: Species Domain: Bacteria Zone:[ ] Enzyme:[ ] Function:[ ] Notes: [ ]Shared Reference Notes [1.1] - Taurinivorans muris strain LT0009 represents a new widespread species that differs from the human gut sulfidogen #Bilophila wadsworthia in its #Sulfur metabolism pathways and host distribution. - #Hydrogen sulfide may suppress the #Oxygen-dependent metabolism of some pathogens - Taurinivorans muris has a protective role against #Klebsiella and #Salmonella, two important gut pathogens. - Colonization of T. muris in gnotobiotic mice increased deconjugation of #Taurine-conjugated #Bile Acids and transcriptional activity of a #Sulfur metabolism gene-encoding prophage in other commensals, and slightly decreased the abundance of #Salmonella enterica - T. muris can contribute to protection against pathogens by the commensal mouse gut microbiota. - Taurinivorans muris feeds exclusively on #Taurine > #Hydrogen sulfideReferences Notes[ ]
