Facklamia hominis CCUG 36813

Facklamia hominis CCUG 36813 is a microaerophilic bacterium, indicating that it requires a reduced level of oxygen for optimal growth. This trait suggests that F. hominis may inhabit environments where oxygen levels are lower than atmospheric concentrations, which could include various human-associated niches or specific ecological settings. The genome of F. hominis CCUG 36813 is characterized by a single replicon, which is a crucial feature for understanding its genetic organization and potential replication mechanisms. The accession number for this strain is AGZD00000000.1, providing a reference point for researchers interested in genomic studies or comparative analysis within the Facklamia genus or related taxa. The microaerophilic nature of F. hominis may play a role in its ecological interactions, particularly in environments with specific oxygen gradients. This adaptation can influence its survival and proliferation in competitive microbial communities, potentially allowing it to occupy ecological niches that may not be suitable for strictly aerobic or anaerobic organisms. Understanding these traits can contribute to insights into the bacterium's role in human health, particularly if it is found in association with human microbiota or in clinical settings. Further research may elucidate the specific ecological functions and health implications of F. hominis within its environments.
