Is Bacteroides succinogenes a good bacteria?

Question

this is a cellulose decomposing bacteria

I choose this bacteria in my research proposal and I want to know if it could effectively decompose organic household waste such as vegetable scraps and fruit peelings.

Answer 1

YES U r RIGHT .
this is a cellulose decomposing bacteria. Its not pathogenic!

It releases CELULASE AND XYLANASE.
it is suggested that B. succinogenes cells in the rumen contribute to an extracellular population of subcellular vesicles that possess cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic activities which probably enhance polymer digestion and provide a source of sugars for microbes lacking polymer-degrading activity, thereby contributing to a stable heterogeneous microbial population.

Present in ruminant bovine rumen.
Its anaerobic

Bacteroides is a genus of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria. Bacteroides species are non-endospore-forming, anaerobes, and may either be motile or non-motile, depending on the species.

Bacteroides species also benefit their host by excluding potential pathogens from colonizing the gut. Some species (B. fragilis, for example) are opportunistic human pathogens, causing infections of the peritoneal cavity, gastrointestinal surgery, and appendicitis via abscess formation, inhibiting phagocytosis, and inactivating beta-lactam antibiotics. Although Bacteroides species are anaerobic, they are aerotolerant and thus can survive in the abdominal cavity.

Answer 2

Bacteroides species are generally considered to be "good" bacteria. I can't say for certain about succinogenes, but other species in this genus are found in the gastrointestinal tract and break down polysaccharides into smaller molecules that the body can use.

As with any bacteria, though, they can be potentially pathogenic, or "bad". If Bacteroides species colonize areas where they are not found naturally, then they can cause harm. There have been cases of gastrointestinal surgeries where these bacteria were inadvertently introduced to the abdomen and caused problems.
