Lachnospira eligens strain AM37-3BH

Lachnospira eligens strain AM37-3BH is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that demonstrates anaerobic growth, indicating that it thrives in environments devoid of oxygen. This strain is classified as mesophilic, suggesting that it prefers moderate temperature conditions for optimal growth. A notable characteristic of Lachnospira eligens AM37-3BH is its free-living biotic relationship, indicating that it does not rely on a host organism for survival. However, it is associated with Homo sapiens, suggesting a potential ecological role within the human microbiome. The presence of flagella in this strain implies that it may possess motility, which can be advantageous for navigating its habitat. The bacterium contains a single replicon and a single membrane, which is typical for many bacteria, and contributes to its classification within the broader taxonomy of its genus. The accession number for this strain is QSHM00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genetic and genomic information. Understanding the ecological role of Lachnospira eligens strain AM37-3BH could provide insights into its function within the human microbiome and its potential contributions to human health. Its free-living nature and association with humans may imply a role in digestive processes or other beneficial interactions, highlighting the complex relationships between host-associated microorganisms and their hosts.
