Hoylesella loescheii DSM 19665 = JCM 12249 = ATCC 15930

Hoylesella loescheii is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium classified under the strain designations DSM 19665, JCM 12249, and ATCC 15930. This organism is characterized by the presence of flagella, which suggests a potential for motility in its anaerobic environment. The genomic structure of Hoylesella loescheii comprises a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic organization that may facilitate its adaptation to anaerobic conditions. The accession number for its genomic data is JNGW00000000.1. As an anaerobe, Hoylesella loescheii thrives in environments devoid of oxygen, which often includes various niches in human and animal microbiomes, as well as in natural habitats such as anaerobic sediments. Its motility, provided by flagella, may enhance its ability to colonize these niches and interact with other microbial communities. The characteristics of Hoylesella loescheii highlight its role in anaerobic ecosystems, where it may contribute to processes such as fermentation or the breakdown of organic matter. Understanding its physiology and ecological role provides valuable insights into microbial dynamics within anaerobic environments and the broader implications for nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.
