Bacteroides ovatus CL02T12C04

Bacteroides ovatus CL02T12C04 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology. As an anaerobe, it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen, which is crucial for its metabolic processes. This organism possesses flagella, indicating that it has the capability for motility, which may play a role in its ecological interactions within its habitat. The strain is distinguished by having a single replicon, which suggests a streamlined genetic organization. The genetic sequence of Bacteroides ovatus CL02T12C04 is cataloged under the accession AGXT00000000.1, providing a reference for further genomic studies. Bacteroides species, including B. ovatus, are often found in the human gut microbiome and are known for their role in breaking down complex carbohydrates. Their ability to perform this function can contribute significantly to the host's digestive processes and overall health. Understanding the traits of Bacteroides ovatus CL02T12C04 enhances our knowledge of the diversity and functionality of microbial communities, especially in anaerobic environments, and underscores the importance of such microbes in the maintenance of gut health and nutrient absorption.
