Bacteroides sp. CAG:927 str. MGS:927

Bacteroides sp. CAG:927 str. MGS:927 is a Gram-negative, non-motile rod-shaped bacterium that is categorized as a chemoheterotroph, deriving its energy from organic compounds. This organism thrives in various habitats where it exists under anaerobic conditions, which means it does not require oxygen for survival. One of the distinguishing features of Bacteroides sp. CAG:927 is its flagella presence, suggesting that while it is non-motile in the traditional sense, it may exhibit some form of movement at the cellular level or have structures that could contribute to interactions with its environment. Furthermore, it is nonsporulating, indicating that it does not form spores as a means of survival under unfavorable conditions. The genome of Bacteroides sp. CAG:927 contains a single replicon, which is significant for its genetic stability and replication. This organism is cataloged under the accession number CAWM000000000.1, providing a reference for further genomic studies. In ecological contexts, Bacteroides species, including CAG:927, are often involved in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates in the intestines of animals, contributing to nutrient cycling and gut health. Their role as chemoheterotrophs is vital for the degradation of organic matter, underscoring their importance in maintaining ecosystem balance, particularly in anaerobic environments.
