"Nocardioides Carbamazepini"
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Nocardioides carbamazepine is a Gram-postive, aerobic, mesophole that is able to metabolize both catabolic and anabolic. There are six electron reductions that occur to metabolize alongside the enzymes. The cell structure for this organism is not highly researched, yet only the cell wall composition is known (LL-diaminopimelic acid, alanine, glutamic acid, glycine).
Ecology and Pathogenesis
The habitat for the Nocardioides carbamazepini microorganism is varied, as it and it’s related species have been shown to inhabit both natural and unnatural environments - there is research that has depicted both the Nocardioidaceae family (Nocardioides) and the variation of carbamazepini (noted as carbamazepine in some text) in agricultural regions and groundwater. There is minimal information regarding its environmental effects, however, there is running research regarding the degradation of this organism in groundwater due to the overuse of its pharmaceutical counterpart.
The most common place that this microorganism can be found in is medical facilities and research, in which it is used to both alter and create the structure of medication. Nocardiodes carbamazepini is not capable of causing disease but has been shown to have a beneficial factor in a variety of medications, as stated above. Carbamazepine is the variation that is used to treat neurological issues such as epilepsy, nerve damage, and bipolar disorder, whereas Nocardiodes carbamazepini itself is used to biodegrade ibuprofen.
