Bacteroides pyogenes DSM 20611 = JCM 6294

Bacteroides pyogenes DSM 20611, also known as JCM 6294, is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella. This motility feature may play a role in its ecological niche and interactions within microbial communities. The organism contains a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure that could contribute to its adaptability and survival in various environments. The accession number for Bacteroides pyogenes is BAIR00000000.1, which allows for the identification and retrieval of its genetic information from genomic databases. This can facilitate further research into its genetic makeup and potential applications in microbiology. In terms of ecological implications, Bacteroides species are generally known to inhabit the gastrointestinal tracts of various animals, including humans, where they play a significant role in the digestion of complex polysaccharides. The presence of Bacteroides pyogenes within this ecosystem could suggest its involvement in nutrient cycling and maintaining gut health. Further studies could elucidate its specific contributions to microbial diversity and functionality in its habitat, enhancing our understanding of gut microbiota dynamics.
