Veillonella atypica ACS-134-V-Col7a

Veillonella atypica ACS-134-V-Col7a is a Gram-negative bacterium that is classified as an anaerobe, meaning it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. This organism possesses flagella, which are tail-like structures that can facilitate movement, potentially aiding its ability to navigate within anaerobic environments. The genetic structure of Veillonella atypica ACS-134-V-Col7a is characterized by the presence of a single replicon. This suggests a streamlined genomic organization, which is often associated with bacteria that inhabit specialized ecological niches, allowing for efficient replication within their specific environments. The accession number for Veillonella atypica ACS-134-V-Col7a is AEDS00000000.1, which links to its genetic information and can be utilized for further research and reference in microbial studies. An ecological insight regarding Veillonella atypica and similar species is their role in the human microbiome, particularly in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, where they are involved in the fermentation of lactate and other substrates. Their ability to thrive in anaerobic conditions highlights their importance in maintaining microbial balance in these niches, contributing to overall host health and metabolic processes.
