1. Oxalate Metabolism: Oxalobacter formigenes is known for its ability to metabolize oxalate, a compound found in various foods. The bacterium can use oxalate as a carbon and energy source. Oxalate is a component of some kidney stones, and its metabolism by Oxalobacter formigenes may be relevant in the context of kidney stone formation.

2. Influence on Kidney Stone Formation: Some studies suggest that the presence of Oxalobacter formigenes in the gut may be associated with a lower risk of kidney stone formation. The bacterium's ability to break down oxalate in the gut may reduce the amount of oxalate available for absorption into the bloodstream and subsequently excreted in the urine.

3. Protection Against Hyperoxaluria: Hyperoxaluria is a condition characterized by elevated levels of oxalate in the urine, which can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. Oxalobacter formigenes may play a protective role by reducing oxalate absorption.
