Selenomonas noxia ATCC 43541

Selenomonas noxia ATCC 43541 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium predominantly found in the oral cavity. This species is characterized by its rod shape and the presence of true flagella, which facilitate its movement within the anaerobic environment of the mouth. Selenomonas noxia is notable for having a single replicon, which is significant for its genetic stability and replication processes. The strain is cataloged under the accession number ACKT00000000.1, providing a reference for further research and exploration of its genetic makeup. The ecological role of Selenomonas noxia in the oral cavity is of particular interest. As an anaerobic organism, it contributes to the complex microbiome of the mouth, interacting with other microbial species and potentially influencing oral health. Its presence may play a role in the balance of microbial communities, as well as in processes related to dental health and disease. Understanding the traits and behaviors of Selenomonas noxia can provide insights into its contribution to oral microbiota dynamics and its potential implications for human health.
