Parabacteroides johnsonii DSM 18315

Parabacteroides johnsonii DSM 18315 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. This species possesses flagella, which suggests a capability for motility. Notably, it has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure. The genetic information for this strain is accessible under the accession number ABYH00000000.1. As a member of the Parabacteroides genus, P. johnsonii is likely involved in various ecological roles within its environment, particularly in the gut microbiota of mammals. Members of this genus are known to contribute to the digestion of complex carbohydrates, thereby playing a significant role in the fermentation process and the overall metabolic health of their host. The presence of flagella may enhance its ability to navigate through the gut environment, potentially influencing its interactions with other microbial species and the host. Overall, Parabacteroides johnsonii DSM 18315 exemplifies the intricate relationships that bacteria maintain within their ecological niches, particularly within the gastrointestinal tract, where they can impact host health and contribute to microbial diversity.
