Description
Firmicutes are a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with low GC content in their genomes. They include both monoderm and diderm cell envelopes, which points to a complex evolutionary history. Their members show wide variation in shape, metabolism, and ecological role.

厚壁菌门为革兰氏阳性菌,其基因组中鸟嘌呤-胞嘧啶含量较低。该门的主要目包括乳杆菌目(Lactobacillales)、梭菌目(Clostridiales)和芽孢杆菌目(Bacillales)。
乳杆菌目包含不形成芽孢的乳酸菌。许多物种具有发酵能力,且为耐氧性厌氧菌,意味着它们可以在有氧环境中生长。
例如与乳制品相关的Lactobacillus和Lactococcus菌种、致病性和非致病性Streptococcus菌种,以及通常来源于粪便且可能对人类具有致病性的Enterococcus菌种。
芽孢杆菌目和梭菌目包含多种具有不同特性的物种。
芽孢杆菌目(Bacillales)包括不形成芽...
