Limosilactobacillus reuteri subsp. rodentium strain 100-23

Limosilactobacillus reuteri subsp. rodentium strain 100-23 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that predominantly exists in chains and exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This strain is classified as a heterotroph, utilizing organic compounds as its energy source. It is mesophilic, indicating that it thrives within a moderate temperature range. Strain 100-23 has a notable cellular structure, characterized by one membrane and the presence of flagella, yet it is non-motile. Its habitat spans multiple environments, suggesting a versatile ecological adaptability. This strain interacts with various hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, various metazoans, Sus scrofa, Aves, and multiple species within the Rodentia order. Notably, it has been observed in hosts such as Mus musculus and members of the Muridae family, indicating a potential ecological role in the gut microbiota of these organisms. The presence of a single replicon in its genome may reflect a streamlined genetic organization, which can be advantageous for survival and adaptation in diverse environments. The ability to partner with a wide range of hosts suggests that Limosilactobacillus reuteri subsp. rodentium strain 100-23 could play a significant role in microbial interactions within the gastrointestinal tracts of these organisms, contributing to nutrient absorption and gut health. This versatility underlines the ecological importance of this strain in maintaining symbiotic relationships in various habitats.
