Hungatella effluvii strain DSM 24995

Hungatella effluvii strain DSM 24995 is an anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its mobility, which is facilitated by the presence of flagella. This strain has been cataloged with the accession number QJKD00000000.1 and is notable for having a single replicon. As an anaerobic organism, Hungatella effluvii thrives in environments devoid of oxygen, which is characteristic of certain intestinal and other low-oxygen habitats. Its rod shape and motility suggest an adaptation that may allow it to navigate through complex environments, potentially aiding in colonization and survival in anaerobic ecosystems. The presence of a single replicon indicates a streamlined genetic organization, which can be advantageous for rapid growth and adaptation in its ecological niche. The ability to move and its anaerobic nature suggest that Hungatella effluvii may play a significant role in biogeochemical processes within its habitat, potentially participating in the fermentation of organic matter. Understanding the traits of Hungatella effluvii can provide insights into its ecological roles, particularly in anaerobic microbial communities where it may contribute to nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. This highlights the importance of such microorganisms in maintaining ecosystem health and function, particularly in environments rich in organic substrates.
