Phocaeicola coprocola CAG:162 str. MGS:162

Phocaeicola coprocola CAG:162 str. MGS:162 is characterized as a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium with a rod shape. The presence of flagella indicates that this species may exhibit motility, which could play a role in its ecological interactions. This strain has a single replicon, suggesting a streamlined genomic organization that may facilitate efficient replication under anaerobic conditions. The accession number for this strain is CBCJ000000000.1, which provides a reference for genomic studies and further research. The anaerobic nature of Phocaeicola coprocola highlights its adaptation to environments devoid of oxygen, potentially influencing its ecological niche. Such bacteria are often involved in the degradation of organic matter, contributing to nutrient cycling in their environments. The flagella may enhance its ability to navigate through complex substrates, aiding in colonization and interaction with other microbial communities. Overall, the traits of Phocaeicola coprocola CAG:162 str. MGS:162 underline its specialization as an anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium, with implications for its ecological role in environments where oxygen is limited.
