Blautia hansenii DSM 20583

Blautia hansenii DSM 20583 is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its cocci shape. This species possesses true flagella, which suggests it has the capability for motility under anaerobic conditions. It has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic organization that is often associated with specialized adaptations in its ecological niche. The designation DSM 20583 signifies that this strain is part of a culture collection, which is crucial for research and potential applications in microbiology. The accession number ABYU00000000.2 provides a reference for genomic data, allowing for further study of its genetic makeup and functional capabilities. Blautia hansenii is significant in the context of gut microbiota, where it may play a role in digestion and the maintenance of intestinal health. As an anaerobic organism, it likely thrives in environments rich in organic matter, contributing to the fermentation processes that are essential for energy extraction in the gut ecosystem. Its motility could facilitate its colonization and interaction with other microbial communities, potentially influencing the overall microbial diversity and functionality within the intestinal microbiome. This insight underscores the importance of understanding microbial species like Blautia hansenii in the broader ecological framework of human health and disease.
