Bacteroides finegoldii CAG:203 str. MGS:203

Bacteroides finegoldii CAG:203 str. MGS:203 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella. This microorganism has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure. The accession number for this strain is CBFL000000000.1, which can be used for further reference in genomic databases. As an anaerobe, Bacteroides finegoldii CAG:203 str. MGS:203 is adapted to environments devoid of oxygen, thriving in conditions typical of the human gut microbiome. The presence of flagella suggests motility, which may facilitate its movement within the dense microbial communities of the gastrointestinal tract. The ecological role of Bacteroides finegoldii within the gut microbiome is significant, as members of the Bacteroides genus are known to contribute to the digestion of complex carbohydrates and the maintenance of gut health. Their metabolic activities can influence nutrient absorption and help modulate the immune response. Understanding the specific traits of Bacteroides finegoldii CAG:203 str. MGS:203 contributes to our broader comprehension of microbial diversity and functionality in the gut ecosystem.
