Dialister micraerophilus DSM 19965

Dialister micraerophilus DSM 19965 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spherical shape. This organism has been identified as having a single flagellum, which may contribute to its motility in specific environments. It possesses one replicon, indicating a singular circular chromosome, a common feature among many bacterial species that aids in stable replication and maintenance of genetic integrity. The strain is cataloged under the accession number AFBB00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genetic sequence and further research possibilities. As a member of the Dialister genus, this species is likely to inhabit anaerobic or microaerophilic environments, where it may play a role in the complex microbial ecosystems, particularly in the human gut or other anaerobic habitats. Understanding the traits of Dialister micraerophilus DSM 19965 can offer insights into its ecological role, especially in relation to anaerobic metabolism and interactions within microbial communities. Its ability to thrive in low-oxygen conditions suggests it may be involved in the breakdown of organic matter or in symbiotic relationships with other microorganisms, contributing to nutrient cycling in its environment. This highlights the importance of such bacteria in maintaining ecosystem balance and supporting the health of host organisms, such as humans, where they may influence gut microbiota composition and function.
