Muribaculaceae

Muribaculaceae is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Muribaculaceae rather than just read about it. In short: Muribaculaceae, previously known as S24-7, is a family of bacteria within the order Bacteroidales. Muribaculaceae is a prevalent and abundant bacterial component of the gut microbiome of mammals.

Key takeaways

Muribaculaceae belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Muribaculaceae to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Muribaculaceae from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Muribaculaceae, previously known as S24-7, is a family of bacteria within the order Bacteroidales. Muribaculaceae is a prevalent and abundant bacterial component of the gut microbiome of mammals. In 2016, family S24-7 was studied in-depth and given the name "Homeothermaceae", however, as no isolates were provided as type material, the name was not validated. The first isolated member of this family was Muribaculum intestinale as part of the mouse intestinal bacterial collection (miBC) in 2016. However, validation of the family only occurred in 2019 after detailed analysis of this family, along with description of Duncaniella and Paramuribaculum, two additional genera within this family. In a recent study on mice, members of the family Muribaculaceae were shown to be major utilisers of mucus-derived monosaccharides in the gut.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Muribaculaceae

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Muribaculaceae claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Muribaculaceae before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Muribaculaceae ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Muribaculaceae

In research: Muribaculaceae appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Muribaculaceae in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Muribaculaceae is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bacteria families, Bacteroidia, Bacteroidia stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Muribaculaceae outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
