Dorea longicatena DSM 13814

Dorea longicatena DSM 13814 is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium that exhibits the presence of flagella. This organism possesses a single replicon, which is crucial for its genetic replication and stability. The accession number for Dorea longicatena is AAXB00000000.2, which provides a reference for genomic data associated with this strain. As an anaerobe, Dorea longicatena thrives in environments devoid of oxygen, suggesting a specialized role in anaerobic ecosystems, such as the human gut or other similar habitats. Its motility, facilitated by flagella, may play a significant role in its ability to navigate through complex microbial communities or adhere to specific niches within these environments. The presence of a single replicon indicates a streamlined genetic organization, which can be advantageous for the bacterium in adapting to its anaerobic surroundings. Understanding the traits of Dorea longicatena provides insight into its potential ecological roles, particularly in nutrient cycling and interactions with other microbial species. The ability to survive and thrive in anaerobic conditions is significant in maintaining the balance of microbial communities, contributing to processes such as fermentation and the degradation of organic matter. Thus, Dorea longicatena exemplifies the diversity and specialization of anaerobic bacteria within ecological systems.
