Prevotella pallens ATCC 700821

Prevotella pallens ATCC 700821 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium noted for its unique adaptations to low-oxygen environments. It possesses flagella, which facilitate motility, an important trait for its survival and potential interactions in complex microbial ecosystems. This organism has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic organization that may contribute to its metabolic efficiency. The genomic data for Prevotella pallens is documented under the accession number AFPY00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genetic and functional studies. Prevotella species, including P. pallens, are often found in various environments, particularly in the human microbiome, where they play roles in digestion and health. Their anaerobic nature suggests that they thrive in environments devoid of oxygen, such as the gastrointestinal tract. The presence of flagella in P. pallens may enhance its ability to navigate through the dense microbial communities of the gut, potentially influencing its ecological niche and interactions with other microbial species. In summary, Prevotella pallens ATCC 700821 showcases adaptations typical of anaerobic bacteria, and its flagella suggest an evolutionary advantage in motility within anaerobic habitats. Understanding its role in such environments can provide insights into its contributions to health and disease dynamics in the microbiome.
