Blautia obeum strain AM18-2AC

Blautia obeum strain AM18-2AC is a Gram-positive, cocci-shaped bacterium that is part of the animal intestinal microflora, specifically associated with Homo sapiens. This strain is classified as a chemoheterotroph, deriving its energy from organic compounds. It thrives in anaerobic conditions, indicating that it does not require oxygen for growth. Blautia obeum strain AM18-2AC exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, which typically supports growth at moderate temperatures. It is non-motile and does not possess flagella, suggesting a lifestyle that is likely reliant on its stable intestinal environment rather than active movement. Furthermore, it has a single replicon, which is characteristic of its genomic organization. The strain is non-sporulating, indicating that it does not form spores for survival under adverse conditions. The accession number for this strain is QRJH00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genetic information. In terms of ecological insight, the presence of Blautia obeum strain AM18-2AC in the human gut highlights its potential role in the complex microbial ecosystem of the intestinal tract. As a member of the gut microbiota, it may contribute to metabolic processes and the overall health of the host, underscoring the importance of such anaerobic, non-motile bacteria in maintaining gut stability and function.
