Brachyspira pilosicoli 95/1000

Brachyspira pilosicoli 95/1000 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and the presence of flagella. This organism is a chemoorganotroph, obtaining energy from organic compounds, and is classified as mesophilic, thriving in moderate temperature ranges. Brachyspira pilosicoli is host-associated, indicating its existence within specific host organisms, where it engages in a symbiotic relationship. The bacterium has a single replicon and is comprised of two membranes, a characteristic typical of Gram-negative bacteria. Its pathogenicity suggests that it can cause disease in its host, although the specific impacts and mechanisms remain unspecified within the available data. Brachyspira pilosicoli 95/1000's ecological role may contribute to the microbial diversity of the gut microbiota in its host, potentially influencing host health and disease susceptibility. Given its anaerobic nature and symbiotic relationships, it may play a role in digestion or nutrient absorption processes within the gut environment, further highlighting its significance in the microbiological ecosystem of its host. The accession number for this bacterium is NC_014330.1, which provides a reference point for genetic and genomic studies related to its characteristics and functions.
