Sutterella parvirubra YIT 11816

Sutterella parvirubra YIT 11816 is a Gram-negative, non-motile bacterium characterized by its ovoid shape and anaerobic oxygen requirement. This organism does not form spores and possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure. Notably, Sutterella parvirubra has flagella, which are typically associated with motility; however, in this case, the bacterium is classified as non-motile, suggesting that the flagella may not be used for movement in this species. The strain is cataloged under the accession number AFBQ00000000.1, providing a reference point for further genomic and taxonomic studies. The anaerobic nature of Sutterella parvirubra suggests that it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen, which may include specific niches within the gastrointestinal tracts of higher organisms or other anaerobic habitats. Understanding the traits of Sutterella parvirubra can offer insights into its ecological role, particularly in anaerobic environments where it may contribute to microbial communities. Its non-motility, combined with its Gram-negative classification, suggests it may play a role in nutrient cycling or symbiotic relationships with host organisms, particularly in anaerobic conditions. Further studies could elucidate its interactions within microbiomes and its potential implications for health and disease.
