    The temperature and pH of saliva makes it conducive for bacteria to survive in the oral cavity. Bacteria in the oral cavity include Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Staphylococcus. [15] S. mutans is the main component of the oral microbiota. [15] A healthy oral microbiome decreases oral infections and promotes a healthy gut ...

  3. Symbiotic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiotic_bacteria

    Most bacteria in the human body are actually good for us and help with carrying out necessary life processes. Gut bacteria in humans often aid in the breakdown of foods and synthesize important vitamins that could not be processed by humans alone. [16] Therefore, humans must be careful when taking antibiotics when they are sick. Antibiotics do ...

    Graphic depicting the human skin microbiota, with relative prevalences of various classes of bacteria. The human microbiome is the aggregate of all microbiota that reside on or within human tissues and biofluids along with the corresponding anatomical sites in which they reside, [1] [2] including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, mammary glands, seminal fluid, uterus, ovarian follicles, lung ...

    Bacteria: Escherichia coli (E. coli), common Gram-negative gut bacterium widely used in molecular genetics. Main lab strain is 'K-12'. Bacillus subtilis, endospore forming Gram-positive bacterium. Main lab strain is '168'. Caulobacter crescentus, bacterium that divides into two distinct cells used to study cellular differentiation.

  6. Microbial consortium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_consortium

    The concept of a consortium was first introduced by Johannes Reinke in 1872, [4] [5] and in 1877 the term symbiosis was introduced and later expanded on. Evidence for symbiosis between microbes strongly suggests it to have been a necessary precursor of the evolution of land plants and for their transition from algal communities in the sea to ...

    Humans are home to 10 13 to 10 14 bacteria, roughly equivalent to the number of human cells, [2] and while these bacteria can be pathogenic to their host most of them are mutually beneficial to both the host and bacteria. The human immune system consists of two main types of immunity: innate and adaptive.

  9. Desulfobacterales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desulfobacterales

    Desulfobacterales are an order of sulfate-reducing bacteria within the phylum Thermodesulfobacteria. [1] The order contains three families; Desulfobacteraceae, Desulfobulbaceae, and Nitrospinaceae. [2] The bacterium in this order are strict anaerobic respirators, using sulfate or nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor instead of oxygen.
