Selenomonas sp. oral taxon 136 strain F0591

Selenomonas sp. oral taxon 136 strain F0591 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella. This strain has been identified in supragingival dental plaque, highlighting its ecological niche within the oral cavity. The genomic structure of Selenomonas sp. F0591 is noteworthy, as it possesses two replicons, which could indicate a complex genomic organization or adaptability to its environment. The strain is cataloged under the accession numbers NZ_CP014239.1 and NZ_CP014240.1, which provide a reference for further genomic studies and analyses. The presence of Selenomonas sp. in supragingival dental plaque suggests its potential role in oral microbiome dynamics. As a member of the oral microbiota, it may contribute to the maintenance of oral health or the development of dental diseases, depending on its interactions with other microbial species and the host environment. Understanding the specific functions and interactions of Selenomonas sp. F0591 within supragingival plaque could provide insights into microbial ecology and the pathogenesis of oral diseases.
