Olsenella porci

Olsenella porci 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 Olsenella porci rather than just read about it. In short: Olsenella porci is a species of Gram-positive short-rod-shaped, non-motile, obligately anaerobic bacterium in the family Atopobiaceae. It was isolated from the feces of a German Landrace pig (minipig breed) in Freising, Germany, and was validly published as a novel species in 2020.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Olsenella porci is a species of Gram-positive short-rod-shaped, non-motile, obligately anaerobic bacterium in the family Atopobiaceae. It was isolated from the feces of a German Landrace pig (minipig breed) in Freising, Germany, and was validly published as a novel species in 2020. The specific epithet porci is the Latin genitive of porcus (“pig”), indicating its porcine origin.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Olsenella porci

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Olsenella porci 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 Olsenella porci 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 Olsenella porci 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 Olsenella porci

In research: Olsenella porci 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 Olsenella porci 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: Olsenella porci is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Actinomycetota stubs, Bacteria described in 2021, Coriobacteriia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Olsenella porci 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.
