Prevotella sp. P3-122

Prevotella sp. P3-122 is a Gram-negative bacterium that is part of the intestinal microflora of animals. This species is classified as a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds. Prevotella sp. P3-122 is an anaerobic organism, thriving in environments devoid of oxygen, which aligns with its habitat in the animal gut where such conditions prevail. The bacterium does not exhibit mobility, and although it possesses flagella, it remains non-motile. Prevotella sp. P3-122 is mesophilic, indicating that it grows optimally at moderate temperatures. It has a single replicon and is nonsporulating, which means it does not form spores to withstand adverse conditions. This species contributes to the complex microbiome of the animal intestine, playing a role in digestion and nutrient absorption. The presence of Prevotella sp. P3-122 may influence the overall health of the host by participating in the breakdown of dietary components and maintaining microbial balance. Understanding the traits of Prevotella sp. P3-122 enhances our knowledge of gut microbiota dynamics and their implications for animal health. The accession number for this bacterium is NPJH00000000.1, which can be used for further genomic and taxonomic studies.
