Prevotella disiens JCM 6334 = ATCC 29426

Prevotella disiens JCM 6334, also known as ATCC 29426, is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized as an anaerobe, meaning it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. The presence of flagella indicates that this species is motile, which may contribute to its ecological adaptability and role in various environments, particularly within the human microbiome. The organism is noted to possess a single replicon, which suggests a relatively streamlined genomic organization that may impact its replication and genetic stability. The genomic data for Prevotella disiens is cataloged under the accession number AWUY00000000.1, allowing for further studies and comparisons with related species. Ecologically, Prevotella disiens is part of a diverse group of bacteria that engage in complex interactions within microbial communities, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. Its anaerobic nature enables it to occupy niches where oxygen is limited, potentially playing a role in the fermentation processes and the overall metabolic balance of these ecosystems. Understanding the physiological traits and the ecological roles of Prevotella disiens can provide insights into its contributions to human health and disease, especially in relation to gut microbiota dynamics.
