Flavonifractor plautii ATCC 29863

Flavonifractor plautii ATCC 29863 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium characterized as a facultative anaerobe. This organism is notable for its ability to thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen, which allows it to adapt to varying environmental conditions. It has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic organization that may contribute to its metabolic versatility. The strain is cataloged under the accession number AGCK00000000.1, which provides a reference for further genomic studies and comparisons with other bacterial species. The specific traits of Flavonifractor plautii suggest that it may play a role in various ecological niches, particularly in environments where organic matter is present and where oxygen availability fluctuates. In a biological context, the facultative anaerobic lifestyle of Flavonifractor plautii may enable it to participate in the degradation of complex organic compounds, potentially contributing to nutrient cycling in its habitat. The ability to adapt to different oxygen levels is a significant trait that allows this bacterium to exploit diverse ecological niches, including those found in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals or in sedimentary environments. Overall, Flavonifractor plautii ATCC 29863 exemplifies the adaptability of microbial life and its potential impact on ecological processes.
