Lactobacillus selangorensis strain DSM 13344

Lactobacillus selangorensis strain DSM 13344 is a rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its anaerobic to microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This organism possesses true flagella, which may facilitate its motility in suitable environments. It has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure that is common among many Lactobacillus species. This strain is documented under accession number JQAZ00000000.1, providing a reference point for researchers interested in its genomic and phenotypic characteristics. The anaerobic to microaerophilic nature of Lactobacillus selangorensis suggests that it thrives in environments with limited oxygen, which is typical for many Lactobacillus species that are often found in fermented foods and the gastrointestinal tracts of animals. The presence of flagella in this strain may provide insights into its ecological role, potentially aiding in colonization and persistence within its natural habitats. The capabilities of Lactobacillus selangorensis to adapt to varying oxygen levels could also contribute to its survival in diverse environments, such as fermented products and the human microbiome. This adaptability underscores the importance of Lactobacillus species in both ecological systems and their potential applications in food fermentation and probiotic formulations.
