Phocaeicola dorei CL02T12C06

Phocaeicola dorei CL02T12C06 is a Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium classified as a chemoheterotroph. This organism is an anaerobe, meaning it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. Its optimal growth temperature is 37°C, and it is categorized as mesophilic, indicating it can grow in moderate temperature ranges typical of many biological systems. The bacterium has a single replicon and is nonsporulating, which suggests it does not form spores as a means of survival under adverse conditions. P. dorei is found in multiple habitats, although specific environments are not detailed in the available data. The presence of flagella indicates that, while this strain is non-motile, it may possess the potential for movement in other contexts or under different conditions. The significance of these traits lies in the bacterium's ecological role; as a chemoheterotroph, P. dorei likely contributes to the breakdown of organic matter in anaerobic environments, facilitating nutrient cycling within its habitat. Understanding the characteristics of P. dorei can provide insights into its ecological functions and its interactions with other microorganisms in diverse ecosystems.
