Bacteroides fluxus is a newly recognized bacterium that is part of the diverse human gastrointestinal microbiome, and the GI microbiome of some other mammalians. The strain of B. fluxus that was isolated from human feces is known as YIT 12057. The short lived life span of this bacterium during observation led to the nomenclature of B. fluxus.

Bacteroides fluxus is a newly recognized bacterium that is part of the diverse human gastrointestinal microbiome, and the GI microbiome of some other mammalians. The strain of B. fluxus that was isolated from human feces is known as YIT 12057. The short lived life span of this bacterium during observation led to the nomenclature of B. fluxus.

Description and significance

Include as many headings as are relevant to your microbe (including things like cell metabolism, ecology, pathology, application to biotechnology). Or, if your microbe is very new and not well studied, then include a heading or two with more description about its native environment or something related to its lifestyle.

Current Research

describe one or two topics of research on this microbe
