Dorea formicigenerans strain AF31-13BH

Dorea formicigenerans strain AF31-13BH is a gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium primarily found in the gut of Homo sapiens. This strain is characterized by the presence of flagella, which may aid in motility within the intestinal environment. Dorea formicigenerans has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic organization. As a member of the gut microbiota, Dorea formicigenerans potentially plays a role in the digestive processes of its host. The anaerobic nature of this bacterium suggests that it thrives in low-oxygen environments, which is consistent with its habitat within the human gut. The ability to survive and proliferate in such conditions is essential for maintaining the balance of gut microbiota, contributing to various metabolic processes and overall gut health. The accession number QRQQ00000000.1 provides a reference for genomic data, which could be utilized for further studies on its metabolic pathways and interactions with other gut microorganisms. Understanding the specific role of Dorea formicigenerans in the human gut ecosystem may offer insights into its contributions to health and disease, as gut microbiota composition is increasingly recognized as a factor in metabolic disorders and other health conditions.
