Prevotella fusca JCM 17724

Prevotella fusca JCM 17724 is an anaerobic bacterium, indicating that it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. This characteristic is significant for its ecological role, particularly in anaerobic habitats such as the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and in various environmental niches where oxygen is limited. The organism possesses true flagella, which facilitates motility. This feature may enhance its ability to navigate through viscous environments typical of its natural habitats, contributing to its survival and interaction with other microbial communities. Prevotella fusca JCM 17724 is characterized by having two replicons, which are essential for its genetic stability and replication processes. The presence of multiple replicons can be indicative of a complex genomic structure that may allow for adaptability in varying environmental conditions. Genomic accessions for Prevotella fusca JCM 17724 include NZ_CP012075.1 and NZ_CP012074.1. These sequences provide valuable resources for researchers studying the genetic makeup and potential functional capabilities of this species. In summary, the anaerobic nature, flagellar motility, and genomic complexity of Prevotella fusca JCM 17724 suggest that it plays a significant role in anaerobic ecosystems, potentially influencing nutrient cycling and interactions with host organisms. Understanding these traits can provide insights into its ecological contributions and the dynamics of microbial communities in which it participates.
