==Metabolism==
 
The bacterium are gram-negative, mesophilic, they maintain a strict obligate anaerobe, non-motile, and non-spore forming life[3]. Optimal temperature is mammalian diet dependent, within the range of 34-37°C[3].

B. coprophilus thrives in a habit that contains 85% H20, 10% bile salts, 3% mucus, 1% fat, 0.7% inorganic salts, and 0.3% cholesterol, which corresponds to normal properties of mammalian stomach bile[3,2].  The bacterium also enjoys a pH within the range of 3-4, which can be maintained by the presence of HCl within the mammalian host gut.  The bacterium also enjoys a habitat rich in undigested polysaccharides’ that host enzymes were unable to degrade[2].

Description and significance

The bacterium, Bacteroides coprophilus are one of many micro bacteria from the phylum Bacteriodetes, which are the predominant bacterial organisms within the mammalian digestive system [1].

Genome structure

The bacterium consists of a linear genome with 3,855,443 nucleotide base pairs, 3,906 genes, and 3,838 proteins [6,7].

Cell and colony structure

B. coprophilus cells are bacilli shaped with 0.7-0.8x2.5-4.1μm in dimension. The organism’s colonies are 0.5-1.2mm in diameter and are translucent, circular, convex, and dark gray [3].


Metabolism

The bacterium are gram-negative, mesophilic, they maintain a strict obligate anaerobe, non-motile, and non-spore forming life[3]. Optimal temperature is mammalian diet dependent, within the range of 34-37°C[3].

Ecology

B. coprophilus thrives in a habit that contains 85% H20, 10% bile salts, 3% mucus, 1% fat, 0.7% inorganic salts, and 0.3% cholesterol, which corresponds to normal properties of mammalian stomach bile[3,2]. The bacterium also enjoys a pH within the range of 3-4, which can be maintained by the presence of HCl within the mammalian host gut. The bacterium also enjoys a habitat rich in undigested polysaccharides’ that host enzymes were unable to degrade[2].

Pathology

Currently research to understand how B.coprophilus, and other bacterium within the phylum Bacteroidetes, affect digestion and obesity are underway[4]. Research so far has indicated that a digestive system rich with bacterium from the phylum Bacteroidetes correlates with weight lose and lean body mass of rats[4].
