Parabacteroides distasonis strain 2789STDY5834901

Parabacteroides distasonis strain 2789STDY5834901 is a Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium classified as an anaerobe, indicating that it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. This strain is associated with host organisms, specifically Homo sapiens, suggesting its presence in the human microbiome. Parabacteroides distasonis is characterized by having a single replicon and a double membrane structure, which is common among Gram-positive bacteria. The strain operates optimally in mesophilic temperature ranges, which typically span from about 20°C to 45°C, aligning with the average human body temperature. Notably, this strain does not undergo sporulation, indicating that it does not form spores as a means of surviving unfavorable conditions. The biotic relationship of Parabacteroides distasonis strain 2789STDY5834901 is categorized as free-living, which implies it can exist independently within its habitat, possibly contributing to the complex ecosystem of the human microbiome. The specific accession number for this strain is CZAR00000000.1, facilitating further research and identification. In summary, Parabacteroides distasonis strain 2789STDY5834901 exemplifies a free-living anaerobe that plays a role in the human microbiome, potentially influencing host health and disease. Its characteristics, such as non-motility and non-sporulating nature, along with its mesophilic growth requirements, underscore its adaptation to the human gut environment.
