Porphyromonas sp. COT-290 OH860

Porphyromonas sp. COT-290 OH860 is a rod-shaped bacterium that possesses flagella, which indicates it has the capability for motility. The presence of flagella can play a significant role in the organism's ability to navigate its environment, potentially aiding in colonization or interaction with other microorganisms. This strain has one replicon, suggesting that it possesses a single circular chromosome, a common feature among many bacterial species. The genetic information for Porphyromonas sp. COT-290 OH860 is cataloged under the accession number JRAR00000000.1, which serves as a reference for researchers seeking genomic data related to this organism. In terms of ecological significance, members of the genus Porphyromonas are often associated with various ecological niches, particularly within the human oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract. They are known for their roles in the breakdown of complex organic materials and may be involved in interactions with host tissues and other microbial communities. Understanding the specific traits of Porphyromonas sp. COT-290 OH860, such as its rod shape and motility, can provide insights into its ecological roles and potential implications in health and disease contexts.
