Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain ATG-F4

Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain ATG-F4 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic metabolism and is classified as a heterotroph. This strain is characterized by its arrangement in chains and lacks mobility, indicated by the absence of flagella. Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATG-F4 is mesophilic, thriving within a moderate temperature range. This strain has been identified in multiple habitats and has a biotic relationship as a free-living organism. It is capable of colonizing a diverse array of hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (chickens), Sus scrofa (pigs), and various other Metazoa, Primates, and Rodentia. Specifically, it has been found in species such as Mus musculus (house mice) and Marmota vancouverensis (Vancouver Island marmots), among others. The genetic information of Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain ATG-F4 is cataloged under accession number NZ_CP035790.1, which provides insight into its genomic characteristics, including having a single replicon and a single membrane structure. From an ecological perspective, the diverse host range of Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATG-F4 suggests its significant role in gut microbiota across various species. Its ability to adapt to different environments and hosts highlights its potential importance in maintaining gut health and influencing the microbiome composition in both humans and animals.
