Parabacteroides johnsonii strain An42

Parabacteroides johnsonii strain An42 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella, which may contribute to its motility. The strain has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic organization that is typical of many bacterial species. The sequence accession for this strain is NFIJ00000000.1, which allows researchers to access its genetic information for further study. The presence of flagella in Parabacteroides johnsonii suggests a potential for movement in its environment, which could play a role in its colonization and survival strategies within various ecosystems, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract of hosts. As a member of the gut microbiota, P. johnsonii may contribute to key biological processes, including the digestion of complex carbohydrates and the modulation of the host's immune response. Understanding the traits of Parabacteroides johnsonii strain An42 provides insight into its ecological role and potential applications in health and disease. Its Gram-negative status and motility may influence its interactions with other microbial species and the host, highlighting the importance of studying this organism in the context of microbial ecology and symbiosis.
