Akkermansia Muciniphila was a Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, oval-shaped bacterium that could grow singly and in pairs.When grown on mucin medium, cells produced a capsule and were found to aggregate. Strain MucT could grow on a limited number of sugars, including N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine and glucose, but only when a protein source was provided and with a lower growth rate and final density than on mucin.
Akkermansia muciniphila exists in about 90% of healthy people, occupies about 1% to 3% of the fecal microbiota, colonizes the gut in the first year of life, decreases with age and deterioration of health. It can degrade mucins to produce beneficial products, such as short-chain fatty acids that contribute to the growth of other bacteria and maintain healthy mucus turnover (similar to many probiotics); and also maintain microbial balance (similar to many probiotics) by competing with other mucin-degradable bacteria and inhibiting their overgrowth.
