Treponema socranskii subsp. paredis ATCC 35535

Treponema socranskii subsp. paredis ATCC 35535 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and the presence of flagella, which contribute to its motility. This organism is classified under the genus Treponema, which includes various species known for their role in human and animal health. T. socranskii subsp. paredis is notable for having a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure. The accession number for this strain is ATFD00000000.1, which can be used for reference in genomic databases and further studies. In terms of biological and ecological insights, Treponema species, including T. socranskii, are often associated with anaerobic environments, such as those found in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tracts of mammals. Their presence in these environments suggests that they may play a role in the microbiome, potentially influencing health and disease states. Understanding the specific traits of T. socranskii subsp. paredis, particularly its motility and genetic configuration, can provide a deeper insight into its ecological niche and the functional roles it may serve in complex microbial communities.
