Prevotella melaninogenica strain GAI 07411

Prevotella melaninogenica strain GAI 07411 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium associated with host environments, specifically found in Homo sapiens and Bos species. This strain is characterized by its non-motility and the presence of flagella, though it does not have the ability to sporulate. The strain exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, thriving in moderate temperature conditions. It possesses two replicons and is surrounded by two membranes, which is typical for Gram-negative bacteria. GAI 07411 has been linked to several health effects, notably gastric inflammation and type II collagen-induced arthritis, indicating its potential role in inflammatory processes. As a free-living organism, Prevotella melaninogenica strain GAI 07411 may participate in complex interactions within its ecological niche. Its presence in the human and bovine microbiomes suggests it could play a role in the overall health of these hosts. The ability to contribute to inflammatory conditions underscores the importance of understanding its biological functions and interactions. Further research could elucidate its specific mechanisms of action and its potential implications in health and disease. Accessions for this strain include NZ_AP018050.1 and NZ_AP018051.1, which may provide additional genomic insights into its characteristics and functionalities.
