Dorea formicigenerans CAG:28 str. MGS:28

Dorea formicigenerans CAG:28 str. MGS:28 is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium known for its ability to thrive in environments devoid of oxygen. This species possesses flagella, indicating motility, which may play a role in its ecological interactions and habitat colonization. The organism has a single replicon, suggesting a streamlined genomic structure which may contribute to its adaptability in anaerobic conditions. The genome of Dorea formicigenerans CAG:28 str. MGS:28 is cataloged under the accession number CBFN000000000.1, providing a reference for researchers interested in further genetic and functional studies. Dorea formicigenerans is part of the gut microbiota and may participate in the fermentation of carbohydrates, leading to the production of short-chain fatty acids, which are beneficial for host health. Its ability to thrive in anaerobic conditions and its motility could facilitate its role in the complex microbial ecosystem of the intestines, where it may contribute to nutrient cycling and host metabolism. Understanding the specific functions and interactions of Dorea formicigenerans may provide insights into gut health and the dynamics of microbial communities.
