Parabacteroides distasonis strain 2789STDY5608872

Parabacteroides distasonis strain 2789STDY5608872 is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its rod shape and absence of mobility. This strain is found in a host-associated habitat, specifically in Homo sapiens, and exhibits a free-living biotic relationship. It possesses two membranes and a single replicon, which is typical for many bacteria. As a mesophilic organism, P. distasonis thrives within moderate temperature ranges, which aligns with the typical conditions found in the human gastrointestinal tract where it is commonly located. Notably, this strain does not form spores, indicating a lifestyle reliant on stable environmental conditions for its survival and proliferation. The presence of flagella suggests that P. distasonis may exhibit some degree of motility under certain conditions, although it is classified as non-motile in this context. The accession number for this strain is CYXP00000000.1, which allows for further reference and study within microbial databases. The ecological insight provided by these traits indicates that Parabacteroides distasonis plays a role in the complex microbiome of humans, potentially contributing to gut health and metabolic processes. Its free-living nature, combined with its anaerobic lifestyle, suggests it may participate in fermentation processes within the gut, influencing nutrient absorption and overall gut ecosystem dynamics.
