Phocaeicola dorei CL03T12C01

Phocaeicola dorei CL03T12C01 is a Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium characterized as a chemoheterotroph that requires anaerobic conditions for growth. This organism does not form spores and has a single replicon, which contributes to its genetic stability and adaptability in various environments. Phocaeicola dorei thrives optimally at temperatures around 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic range, which is typical for many bacteria found in warm-blooded hosts. The habitats for Phocaeicola dorei are diverse, suggesting its ability to adapt to multiple ecological niches. The presence of flagella indicates potential motility capabilities in its environment, although the organism is classified as non-motile, which may imply that its flagella serve other functions, possibly in sensing or attachment rather than in movement. Understanding the metabolic pathways and ecological roles of Phocaeicola dorei can provide insights into its interactions within microbial communities, particularly in anaerobic environments. Its chemoheterotrophic lifestyle suggests that it plays a role in the degradation of organic matter, contributing to nutrient cycling in its habitats. Given its optimal growth temperature and anaerobic requirements, Phocaeicola dorei may be particularly important in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals, where it could influence digestion and overall health. Accessions for this organism are cataloged under AGXI00000000.1, facilitating further research into its characteristics and potential applications.
