This particular strain of Azoarcus evansii has been identified in substantial numbers in the human digestive system.

Research has indicated that it is perhaps one of the most influential bacterium in maintaining a healthy body.

[1] One of the key functions identified in these studies is the ability to maintain and control Lactobacillus johnsonii populations in the gut.

Lactobacillus johnsonii, although useful at low population levels, can cause necrosis of the stomach if allowed to grow to uninhibited levels.

The Azoarcus evansii consumes (literally eats) the Lactobacillus johnsonii to maintain a healthy population level.
