Thomasclavelia spiroformis DSM 1552

Thomasclavelia spiroformis DSM 1552 is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This species is notable for its flagella presence, which aids in motility under anaerobic conditions. The bacterium has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure that may contribute to its adaptability in specific environments. As an anaerobe, Thomasclavelia spiroformis thrives in oxygen-deprived environments, suggesting potential ecological roles in habitats such as the gastrointestinal tracts of animals or other anoxic ecosystems. Its ability to move via flagella may enhance its survival and colonization in these niches, allowing it to navigate through complex microbial communities. The accession number for this organism is ABIK00000000.2, which provides a reference point for researchers interested in studying its genetics and biological functions. Understanding the characteristics of Thomasclavelia spiroformis can provide insights into its ecological significance, particularly in the context of microbial interactions in anaerobic environments. The study of such organisms is crucial for comprehending the dynamics of microbial communities and their roles in biogeochemical cycles.
