Diaotrofisten

Diaotrofisten, also known as diaotrophs, are a group of bacteria that are capable of oxidizing a wide range of organic compounds. They are found in various environments, including soil, water, and sediments. These bacteria play a significant role in the carbon cycle by breaking down organic matter and releasing carbon dioxide. They are often found in association with other microorganisms, such as fungi, in decomposing organic material. Diaotrofisten are classified under the phylum Bacteroidetes and are known for their ability to utilize a diverse array of carbon sources. Their metabolic versatility makes them important contributors to the biodegradation of organic pollutants and the overall health of ecosystems.
