Fusobacterium varium strain Fv113-g1

Fusobacterium varium strain Fv113-g1 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium classified as a chemoheterotroph and an anaerobe, thriving optimally at 37°C. This strain is non-motile but possesses flagella. It has three replicons identified in its genomic structure, with accession numbers NZ_AP017968.1, NZ_AP017969.1, and NZ_AP017970.1. F. varium strain Fv113-g1 is known to inhabit multiple environments, indicating its versatility in adapting to various habitats. It is associated with severe infections in its hosts, which include Homo sapiens (humans) and Bos (cattle). The pathogenic potential of this strain underscores its medical relevance, particularly in understanding infections that affect humans and livestock. Given its anaerobic nature, F. varium strain Fv113-g1 likely plays a role in specific ecological niches where oxygen levels are low, contributing to the microbiota of its hosts. Its ability to utilize organic compounds as an energy source allows it to thrive in diverse environments, potentially influencing gastrointestinal health. The presence of flagella may aid in its colonization of host tissues, although it is non-motile in the traditional sense. In summary, the traits of Fusobacterium varium strain Fv113-g1 not only highlight its significance in clinical microbiology but also suggest its ecological roles in the gut microbiomes of mammals, where it may impact both health and disease dynamics.
