Bacteroides uniformis strain AM29-12AC

Bacteroides uniformis strain AM29-12AC is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped anaerobic bacterium primarily found in the gastrointestinal tract of Homo sapiens. This strain is adapted to the gut luminal niche, where it plays a significant role in the complex microbial ecosystem of the human intestine. Characterized by the presence of flagella, B. uniformis strain AM29-12AC is motile, which may aid in its colonization and interaction within the gut environment. The strain has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genome organization that may facilitate its specific metabolic processes. One notable health effect associated with Bacteroides uniformis strain AM29-12AC is its involvement in intestinal inflammation. This suggests that the strain may play a dual role in the gut microbiome, potentially contributing to both health and disease states depending on the balance of microbial communities. Understanding the functionalities of such strains is crucial, as they can influence host health and contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis in the intestinal tract. Overall, the study of Bacteroides uniformis strain AM29-12AC enhances our understanding of microbial dynamics in the human gut and underscores the importance of specific bacterial strains in the context of human health and disease.
