Neisseria dentiae strain DSM 19151

Neisseria dentiae strain DSM 19151 is a microaerophilic bacterium, indicating that it thrives in environments with lower oxygen levels than those found in the atmosphere. This trait is significant as it suggests that N. dentiae may have specialized adaptations for survival and growth in specific ecological niches where oxygen concentration is limited. Additionally, N. dentiae possesses flagella, which are structural appendages that can facilitate motility. The presence of flagella may enable this strain to navigate its microaerophilic environment more effectively, potentially aiding in colonization and interaction with other microorganisms or host tissues. The strain has been characterized with a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic organization. This trait may play a role in its replication and stability, contributing to the overall fitness of the organism in its habitat. The genomic information for Neisseria dentiae strain DSM 19151 is accessible through the accession number MTBO00000000.1, allowing for further research and comparison with related species within the Neisseria genus. In summary, the microaerophilic nature and motility provided by flagella suggest that N. dentiae strain DSM 19151 is adapted to specific ecological niches where oxygen is limited. Understanding these traits can enhance our knowledge of its role in microbial communities and its potential interactions with hosts or other organisms in its environment.
