👉 Aminithiophilus is a type of bacterium that primarily lives in the digestive tract of mammals, specifically humans, and can also grow in the intestines of other animals. It is known for its ability to digest proteins, particularly those found in plant-based diets. This characteristic allows it to play a crucial role in gut health by fermenting and breaking down certain types of protein sources into amino acids that are essential for growth and maintenance of the body's tissues and organs.
